The electronic structures of Sr$$_{2}$$FeMoO$$_{6}$$ (SFMO) and Ba$$_{2}$$FeMoO$$_{6}$$ (BFMO) double perovskites have been investigated using Fe 2p-3d resonant photoemission spectroscopy (PES) and the Cooper minimum in the Mo 4d photoionization cross section. The states close to the Fermi level are found to have a strongly mixed Mo–Fe t$$_{2g}$$ character, indicating that the Fe valence is far from pure 3+. The Fe 2p$$_{3/2}$$ x-ray absorption spectroscopy spectra reveal the mixed-valent Fe $$^{3+}$$–Fe$$^{2+}$$ configurations, and a larger Fe$$^{2+}$$ component for BFMO than for SFMO, suggesting an operative double exchange interaction. The valence-band PES spectra reveal good agreement with the local-spin-density-approximation (LSDA+U) calculation.
