Abstract
In this study, we successfully synthesized the double perovskite oxide Cd2FeReO6 by using a high-temperature and high-pressure method. The crystal structure was confirmed to belong to the P21/n space group, exhibiting approximately 68% ordering of Fe3+ and Re5+ ions at the perovskite B-site with the remaining regions showing antisite disorder. The measured Curie temperature of Cd2FeReO6 was 460 K, slightly lower than expected but still significantly above room temperature. Remarkably, Cd2FeReO6 displayed a remarkable low-field butterfly type tunneling magnetoresistance of -23% (-37% between the lowest and the largest values) at 5 K and 90 kOe, the highest among the A2FeReO6 (A = Ca, Sr, Pb, Ba) family. First-principles calculations provided insight into the origin of this observed magnetoresistance behavior, revealing Cd2FeReO6's half-metallic ferrimagnetic nature. This research extends our understanding of the double perovskite family and emphasizes its potential significance in the domains of spintronics and materials science. The exploration of differing magnetoresistance behaviors between Cd2FeReO6 and Ca2FeReO6, along with the influence of antisite disorder in Cd2FeReO6, opens intriguing avenues for further research.

Abstract
Thin films of double perovskite ruthenates, viz., Ba2DyRuO6 (BDRO) and Sr2DyRuO6 (SDRO), have been successfully grown on a SrTiO3 substrate using the pulsed laser deposition technique. The BDRO samples crystallizes in cubic structure, while SDRO exhibits monoclinic structure as revealed in their X-Ray diffraction examination. Temperature-dependent magnetization measurements suggest the presence of ferromagnetism in BDRO, while paramagnetism is present for the SDRO thin film. Surprisingly, both films show canted antiferromagnetism at ∼T = 5 K as revealed in their isothermal magnetization curves. The inverse susceptibility has been fitted to the Curie-Weiss law for the SDRO sample, where the Curie temperature (TC ∼ -336.6 K) has been obtained, thus suggesting the prevalence of antiferromagnetic interactions. The existence of the canted magnetism at a lower temperature may be attributed to the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (D-M) interactions in the monoclinic SDRO sample due to structural distortion. However, the emergence of canted antiferromagnetism at lower temperatures (5 K) in the BDRO sample with cubic symmetry having no D-M interactions may be attributed to the various modifications at the surface of the thin films. Overall, a comparison made between the magnetic properties of both the thin films i.e., BDRO & SDRO, reveals the suppression of bulk magnetic ordering when compared to their bulk counterparts. The possible reason for the absence of any magnetic ordering in these thin films may be due to any modifications in superexchange interactions, any exchange bias, stress-strain, or uncompensated spins present in these types of thin films. UV-visible measurements for both the samples reveal a direct influence of the A-site element (Sr/Ba) on their band gaps, i.e., 3.66 eV and 2.59 eV for BDRO and SDRO samples, respectively, hence suggesting their insulating nature. We have also carried out first principles calculations with DFT using the CASTEP software to gain more insights into the experimental data. These thin films with insulating-antiferromagnetic properties may be crucial for "spintronics devices".

Abstract
The disorder in any system affects their physical behavior. In this scenario, we report the possibility of disorder in A2BB'O6oxides and their effect on different magnetic properties. These systems show anti-site disorder by interchanging B and B' elements from their ordered position and giving rise to an anti-phase boundary. The presence of disorder leads to a reduction in saturationMand magnetic transition temperature. The disorder prevents the system from sharp magnetic transition which originates short-range clustered phase (or Griffiths phase) in the paramagnetic region just above the long-range magnetic transition temperature. Further, we report that the presence of anti-site disorder and anti-phase boundary in A2BB'O6oxides give different interesting magnetic phases like metamagnetic transition, spin-glass, exchange bias, magnetocaloric effect, magnetodielectric, magnetoresistance, spin-phonon coupling, etc.

Abstract
Polycrystalline double perovskite-type Sr2(Co1-xFex)TeO6 with various stoichiometric compositions (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1) were synthesized by solid-state reactions in air. The crystal structures and phase transitions of this series at different temperature intervals were determined by X-ray powder diffraction, and from the obtained data the crystal structures were refined. It has been proven that for the compositions x = 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75, the phases crystallize at room temperature in the monoclinic space group I2/m. Down to 100 K, depending on the composition, these structures experience a phase transition from I2/m to P21/n. At high temperatures up to 1100 K their crystal structures show two further phase transitions. The first one is a first-order phase transition, from monoclinic I2/m to tetragonal I4/m, followed by a second-order phase transition to cubic Fm3̄m. Therefore, the phase transition sequence of this series detected at temperatures ranging from 100 K to 1100 K is P21/n → I2/m → I4/m → Fm3̄m. The temperature-dependent vibrational features of the octahedral sites were investigated by Raman spectroscopy, which furthermore complements the XRD results. A decrease in the phase-transition temperature with increasing iron content has been observed for these compounds. This fact is explained by the progressive diminishing of the distortion of the double-perovskite structure in this series. Using room-temperature Mössbauer spectroscopy, the presence of two iron sites is confirmed. The two different transition metal cations Co and Fe at the B sites allow exploring their effect on the optical band-gap.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks with perovskite structures have recently attracted increasing attention due to their structural, optical, and phonon properties. Herein, we report the structural and luminescence studies of a series of six heterometallic perovskite-type metal-organic frameworks with the general formula [EA]2NaCrxAl1-x(HCOO)6, where x = 1, 0.78, 0.57, 0.30, 0.21, and 0. The diffuse reflectance spectral analysis provided valuable information, particularly on crystal field strength (Dq/B) and energy band gap (Eg). We showed that the Dq/B varies in the 2.33-2.76 range depending on the composition of the sample. Performed Raman, XRD, and lifetime decay analyses provided information on the relationship between those parameters and the chemical composition. We also performed the temperature-dependent luminescence studies within the 80-400 K range, which was the first attempt to use an organic-inorganic framework luminescence thermometer based solely on the luminescence of Cr3+ ions. The results showed a strong correlation between the surrounding temperature, composition, and spectroscopic properties, allowing one to design a temperature sensing model. The temperature-dependent luminescence of the Cr3+ ions makes the investigated materials promising candidates for noncontact thermometers.

Abstract
The engineered interfaces of complex oxides have abundant physical properties and provide a powerful platform for the exploration of fundamental physics and emergent phenomena. In particular, research on the two-dimensional magnetic systems with high mobility remains a long-standing challenge for the discovery of quantum phase and spintronic applications. Here, we introduce a few atomic layers of the delta doping layer at LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interfaces through elaborately controllable epitaxial growth of SrRuO3. After inserting a SrRuO3 buffer layer, the interfaces exhibit a well-defined anomalous Hall effect up to 100 K and their mobility is enhanced by 3 orders of magnitude at low temperatures. More intriguingly, a large unsaturated positive magnetoresistance is created at interfaces. Combining with the density functional theory calculation, we attribute our findings to the electron transfer at interfaces and the magnetic moment of Ru4+ 4d bands. The results pave a way for further research of two-dimensional ferromagnetism and quantum transport in all-oxide systems.

Abstract
Ferromagnetic (FM) semiconductors have been recognized as the cornerstone for next-generation highly functional spintronic devices. However, the development in practical applications of FM semiconductors is limited by their low Curie temperatures (T C). Here, on the basis of model analysis, we find that the FM super-exchange couplings in the d 5 - d 3 system can be significantly strengthened by reducing the virtual exchange gap (G ex) between occupied and empty e g orbitals. By first-principle calculations, we predict robust ferromagnetism in three rhombohedral RMnO3 (R = Sc, Y, and Lu) compounds with the T C that is as high as ∼1510 K (YMnO3). The oxygen breathing motions open a band gap and create an unusual Mn2+/Mn4+ charge ordering of the Mn-d electrons, which play an important role in altering the G ex. Interestingly, the rhombohedral RMnO3 compounds are also ferroelectric (FE) with a large spontaneous polarization approaching that of LiNbO3. These results not only deepen the understandings of magnetic couplings in d 5 - d 3 system, but also provide a way to design room-temperature FM-FE multiferroics.

Abstract
A new 3d-5d hybridization oxide, CaCu3Mn2Os2O12 (CCMOO), was prepared by high-pressure and high-temperature synthesis methods. The compound crystallizes to an A-site-ordered but B-site-disordered quadruple perovskite structure with a space group of Im3̅ (No. 204). The charge states of the transition metals are determined to be Cu2+/Mn3.5+/Os4.5+ by X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Although most B-site-disordered perovskites possess lower spin-ordering temperatures or even nonmagnetic transitions, the current CCMOO displays a long-range ferrimagnetic phase transition with a critical temperature as high as ∼280 K. Moreover, a large saturated magnetic moment is found to occur [7.8 μB/formula units (f.u.) at 2 K]. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism shows a Cu2+(↑)Mn3.5+(↑)Os4.5+(↓) ferrimagnetic coupling. The corner-sharing Mn/OsO6 octahedra with mixed Mn and Os charge states make the compound metallic in electrical transport, in agreement with a specific heat fitting at low temperature. This work provides a rare example with high spin-ordering temperature and a large magnetic moment in B-site-disordered 3d-5d hybridization perovskite oxides.

Abstract
Sr2CrWO6/Sr2Fe10/9Mo8/9O6 (SCWO/SFMO) superlattices with 4, 6, 7, 10 periods (abbreviated as S-1, S-2, S-3, and S-4) were prepared on (0 0 1) SrTiO3 (STO) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. All superlattices show macroscopic ferromagnetic behavior, and the magnetization increases with increasing period. The S-1 superlattice demonstrates semiconductor-like temperature-dependent resistivity in the whole measuring temperature range and negative magnetoresistance of -5.3% at 2 K with 2 T magnetic field, while the other superlattices illustrate metallic behaviors and increasing positive magnetoresistance of 223.1%, 275.4%, and 766.1% under the same conditions. This work not only provides a feasible way to tune the MR effect in magnetic perovskite oxides, but also may stimulate further work on artificially micro-structured thin films with designable magnetic properties.

Abstract
Zigzag silicene nanoribbons (ZSiNRs) in the ferromagnetic edge ordering have a metallic behavior, which limits their applications in spintronics. Here a robustly half-metallic property is achieved by the boron substitution doping at the edge of ZSiNRs. When the impurity atom is replaced by the aluminum atom, the doped ZSiNRs possess a spin semiconducting property. Its band gap is suppressed with the increase of ribbon's width, and a pure thermal spin current is achieved by modulating ribbon's width. Moreover, a negative differential thermoelectric resistance in the thermal charge current appears as the temperature gradient increases, which originates from the fact that the spin-up and spin-down thermal charge currents have diverse increasing rates at different temperature gradient regions. Our results put forward a promising route to design multi-functional spintronic devices which may be applied in future low-power-consumption technologies.
