Paul Attfield & Yuichi Shimakawa, Nature Communications 5 (2014), 3909.<\/a><\/p>\n Strong correlation between spins and conduction electrons is key in spintronic materials and devices. A few ferro- or ferrimagnetic transition metal oxides such as La1\u2212x<\/i><\/sub>Srx<\/i><\/sub>MnO3<\/sub>, Fe3<\/sub>O4<\/sub><\/span>, CrO2<\/sub><\/span> and Sr2<\/sub>FeMoO6<\/sub> have spin-polarized conduction electrons at room temperature, but it is difficult to find other spin-polarized oxides with high Curie temperatures (well above room temperature) and large magnetizations for spintronics applications. Here we show that an A- and B-site-ordered quadruple perovskite oxide, CaCu3<\/sub>Fe2<\/sub>Re2<\/sub>O12<\/sub>, has spin-polarized conduction electrons and is ferrimagnetic up to 560\u2009K. The couplings between the three magnetic cations lead to the high Curie temperature, a large saturation magnetization of 8.7\u2009\u03bc<\/i>B<\/sub> and a half-metallic electronic structure, in which only minority-spin bands cross the Fermi level, producing highly spin-polarized conduction electrons. Spin polarization is confirmed by an observed low-field magnetoresistance effect in a polycrystalline sample. Optimization of CaCu3<\/sub>Fe2<\/sub>Re2<\/sub>O12<\/sub> and related quadruple perovskite phases is expected to produce a new family of useful spintronic materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wei-tin Chen, Masaichiro Mizumaki, Hayato Seki,Mark S.
