Integrated experimental and theoretical studies on structural and magnetic properties of thin films of double perovskite ruthenates: Ba₂DyRuO₆ & Sr₂DyRuO₆

Abstract

, 3.66 eV and 2.59 eV for BDRO and SDRO samples, respectively, hence suggesting their insulating nature. We have also carried out first principles calculations with DFT using the CASTEP software to gain more insights into the experimental data. These thin films with insulating-antiferromagnetic properties may be crucial for "spintronics devices".
