The compound YbSr2RuO6 belongs to the family of double perovskites forming a monoclinic structure , with monoclinic structure (P21/n). It is essentially an antiferromagnetic compound (TN ~ 44 K) with weak ferromagnetic component resulting from the canting of the ordered moments. The magnetization data shows clear evidence for magnetic ordering as well as magnetization reversal giving rise to negative magnetization at low temperatures.
