Abstract
Based on the density functional theory and the Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS), the structural, the electronic and the magnetic properties of \(\hbox {Sr}_{2}\hbox {TiMoO}_6\) double perovskite have been studied with (GGA), \((\hbox {GGA}+U)\) and \((\hbox {GGA}+U+\hbox {SOC})\) approaches. The lattice parameter, the band structure and the electronic densities of states have been analyzed. Furthermore, the results show a half-metallic behavior of the compound with \((\hbox {GGA}+U)\). By the energy calculation, \(\hbox {Sr}_{2}\hbox {TiMoO}_6\) oxide shows an antiferromagnetic ordering. The exchange coupling of \(\hbox {Sr}_{2}\hbox {TiMoO}_6\) has been also computed in order to investigate the magnetic properties by using MCS in the framework of the Ising model. Interesting phenomena have been obtained such as the first-order transitions and multiple hysteresis loops. These results make \(\hbox {Sr}_{2}\hbox {TiMoO}_6\) a promising candidate for spintronic applications.
