Ca2-xLaxFeMoO6 double perovskite with La concentration x = 0 to 0.6 was synthesized using solid state sintering route. The standard techniques of XRD, SEM and EDX were applied to characterize the material. Crystal structure of the samples was stabilized in monoclinic phase with space group P2I/n and lattice expansion was indicated with the increase of x. The increase of La concentration gradually suppressed the coexisting minor secondary phase in the material and simultaneously, EDX results indicated the accommodation of more Mo atoms in the crystal structure. A significant modification in the surface morphology of the material was noted from adhesive type surface for x = 0 to brittle type surface with more grain boundary contributions for La doped samples. We understand a significant change in magnetic properties (appearance of cluster glass component, reduction of magnetic moment and indication of higher TC) and in electrical properties (reduction of metallic character) in terms of enhanced internal disorder in the material, introduced due to La doping in double perovskite structure.
