Furthermore, the magnetic properties have been studied in the temperature range of 4.2 K-800 K. The data confirm a highly ordered double perovskite crystal structure and is consistent with the tetragonal structure with 14/mmm symmetry. The Fe L edge has been probed by means of XAS, and comparison with results for a series of other iron oxides reveals a mixed valence state of Fe2+ and Fe3+. XPS of the Mo 3d and Fe 3s core levels confirms this point of view indicating a mixed valence state involving around 30% Fe3+-Mo5+ and 70% Fe2+-Mo6+ states, in good agreement with paramagnetic measurements which suggest 60% Fe2+ ions.
