It is found that a wide growth-temperature range of at least 700–800 ℃ can yield epitaxial films with superior magnetic properties and atomically flat surfaces. These films exhibit Curie temperatures Tc of up to 620 K, and saturation magnetizations Ms of 0.9μ_B/formula unit (f.u.), which is comparable to the predicted value of 1μ_B/ f.u. for the fully ordered half-metallic material. Owing to the wide temperature window for growth of high-quality films, the surface morphology and coercivity of Sr_2CrReO_6 films are highly controllable, which is favorable for fabrication of magnetic tunnel junctions.}, pages = {263--265}, title = {Growth and properties of high-Curie-temperature Sr_2CrReO_6 thin films}, volume = {85}, year = {2004} }
