Abstract

The topotactic nitridation of cation ordered, tetragonal Sr₂FeMoO₆ in NH₃ at moderate temperatures leads to cubic, Fm [3 with combining macron] m double perovskite oxynitride Sr₂FeMoO_4.9N_1.1 where double-exchange interactions determine ferromagnetic order with T_C ≈ 100 K. Substitution of oxide by nitride induces bond asymmetries and local electronically driven structural distortions, which combined with Fermi level lowering restricts charge itinerancy to confined regions and preclude spontaneous long-range magnetic order. Under a magnetic field, ferromagnetic correlations expand, favoring charge delocalization and a negative magnetoresistance is observed.
