Synthesis, magnetic and electrical transport properties of magnetoresistance material Sr2FeMoO6 by microwave sintering

► Double perovskite Sr2FeMoO6 was synthesized rapidly by microwave sintering method. ► Total reaction time is shortened effectively to 60 min. ► Magnetic and electrical transport properties were investigated. ► MR of as-synthesized Sr2FeMoO6 is up to 28% at room temperature under 1.0 T. ► The sample exhibits typical semiconductor behavior.
