Abstract

We report significant intergrain magnetoresistance (IMR) in polycrystalline double perovskites of SrFe1−x(Mo or Re)xO3 at room temperature. Systematics of the temperature dependence of IMR indicates that the observed large room-temperature IMR in SrFe1/2Mo1/2O3 originates from the ferrimagnetic nature of insulating grain boundaries as well as the half-metallicity of this perovskite. Our results indicate that a new avenue for spin-polarized tunneling junctions is to utilize insulating interface layers with ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic coupling.
