Translated abstract:
Among the double perovskites, materials with a diverse spectrum of physical properties are known. Ferromagnetic double perovskites with a high Curie-temperature well above room temperature and with halfmetallic properties, which were predicted by theory, are interesting candidates for possible applications in spintronic devices. A mechanism explaining the magnetic exchange in these materials, based on the generalized double exchange, was published recently. By using X-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy and SQUID-Magnetometry, the predictions of this model could be experimentally validated within the framework of this thesis. In the second part of this thesis, the growth and the physical properties of thin films of the double perovskite Sr 2 CrWO 6 are discussed, in particular the magneto-transport results.
