Double perovskite Sr2-xGdxFeMoO6(x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) were synthesized by microwave sintering method using SrCO3, Fe2O3, MoO3 and Gd2O3 as raw materials. The phase structure, magnetic and electrical properties of all the samples were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM) respectively. XRD analysis shows that the as-synthesized sample is Sr2FeMoO6 with tetragonal crystal structure and I4/mmm space group. With the increase of doped Gd3+, cell volume increases firstly and then decreases, accompanied by a small amount of impurity phase Gd2O3. Magnetism testing results show that the samples Sr2-xGdxFeMoO6 are ferromagnetic, the magnetic transition temperature is above room temperature. The saturation magnetization of Sr2-xGdxFeMoO6 is 16.528, 12.542, 10.616 and 12.040 A?m2/kg for x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 respectively under 1.0 T magnetic field at room temperature,and the magnetoresistance ratio of the samples is 28.02%, 29.39%, 30.36% and 61.66% respectively. Therefore,the saturation magnetization is decreased with the doping of Gd3+, but magnetoresistance ratio can be improved significantly when the doping concernt of Gd3+ x=0.3. Electrical performance testing results show that the samples exhibit typical semiconductor behavior. The conductive mechanism of Sr2-xGdxFeMoO6(x=0, 0.1, 0.2) is variable range transation of small polaron model in the range of 100~300 K. The conductive mechanism of Sr1.7Gd0.3FeMoO6 is variable range transation of small polaron model in the range of 150~300 K; but it is ascribed to the adiabatic small polaron conduction mechanism in the range of 100~150 K.
