[摘要]:We have investigated the magnetic properties of B-site-ordered Sr2FeTaO6 double perovskite thin films grown on (111) SrTiO3 substrates by using pulsed-laser deposition. High degree of ordering of Fe and Ta ions has been confirmed using x-ray diffraction and atomically resolved high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy. We have found clear signatures of magnetic frustration in {111} planes of local spin moment arising from next-nearest-neighbor interaction in triangular FeO6 sublattice below 50 K. It is also found that this behavior is suppressed by increasing disorder and eventually leads to antiferromagnetic state. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3663214]
