Abstract

Using first-principles density functional calculations, we have computed the optical and magneto-optical properties of the Cr-based double perovskite compounds, Sr2CrB'O6 with B' = W,Re,Os. Our computed magneto-optic spectra show substantially large Kerr rotations of about -2° to -2.5° for Sr2CrWO6 and Sr2CrReO6 and a moderately large Faraday rotation of about -0.25×106 deg/cm in insulating Sr2CrOsO6, indicating possible industrial applications. Our study should motivate experimental investigations in this yet to be explored area of Sr2CrB'O6 compounds.
