摘要
Polycrystalline ordered double perovskite Sr2FeMoO6 bulk samples with grain size in the range of 29-45 nm have been synthesized at temperatures from 900 to 1000 degrees C, using a sol-gel method. We find that the intergrain magnetoresistance is closely correlated with the grain size. The sample with the grain size of 29 nm shows large magnetoresistance Delta rho/rho(0), 30%-20% at a low magnetic field of 4 kG over a wide temperature range from 20 to 300 K. The results can be explained in terms of spin-dependent intergrain tunneling model. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(99)02050-1].
