TY - JOUR AU - A.S Ogale AU - S.B Ogale AU - Ramamoorthy Ramesh AU - T Venkatesan AB - Monte Carlo simulation studies are performed to examine the implications of octahedral cation (Fe, Mo) site disorder for magnetization in the double-perovskite Sr2FeMoO6. Correlations between the near-neighbor cation distributions and the spin distributions are identified to gain insight into the spin arrangement within, and on the periphery of a given transition element cation cluster. It is shown that the drop in the magnetic moment is nearly linear with the increase in the mis-site defect concentration for the case of randomly created defects. Implications of the concomitant presence of mis-site defects and oxygen vacancies are also analyzed. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
