We report significant intergrain magnetoresistance (IMR) in polycrystalline double perovskites of SrFe1−x(Mo or Re)xO3 at room temperature. Systematics the temperature dependence IMR indicates that observed large room-temperature SrFe1/2Mo1/2O3 originates from ferrimagnetic nature insulating grain boundaries as well half-metallicity this perovskite. Our results indicate a new avenue for spin-polarized tunneling junctions is to utilize interface layers with ferromagnetic coupling.

Antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations are the most promising candidate as pairing glue of high critical temperature (Tc) superconductivity in cuprates. However, many-body states and intertwined orders have made it difficult to determine how electrons couple with fluctuating spins form Cooper pairs. Recent experimental theoretical studies suggested fluctuation-driven quasiparticle band folding, but relationship between resultant Fermi pockets remains unclear. Here, using angle-resolved...
