Epitaxial thin films of SrLaVMoO6 with an ordered double perovskite structure have been grown on (001) and (111) SrTiO3 substrates by magnetron sputtering. The optimized (111) film exhibited a clear (111) diffraction peak, which is a superlattice reflection of double perovskite unite cell, indicating clear B-site ordering. Temperature dependences of resistivity ρ show metallic behavior and transition point at 140~150 K, of which behavior is reminiscent of the electrical properties of materials showing long-range magnetic or antiferromagnetic order. XPS results of the Mo 3d core level spectra are discussed in terms of the B-site ordering and oxygen nonstoichiometry.
