Ferromagnetic double perovskites have attracted renewed interest due to the fact that they combine high Curie-temperature TC and a half-metallicity [1]. Recently, in the compound Sr2FeMoO6 the substitution of Sr2+ by trivalent La3+ has been reported to lead to an even further increase of TC [2]. With respect to the mechanism of ferromagnetism in the double perovskites it is important to clarify whether this behavior is general [3]. We have fabricated a series of polycrystalline samples of the two compounds with different La doping in order to compare carefully the different effects on TC. All samples were characterized by x-ray powder diffractometry, neutron scattering, magnetization and transport measurements. We find that the preferential formation of LaCrO3 prevents the formation of La-doped Sr2CrWO6. However, in the system Ca2CrWO6 La doping can be achieved. In agreement with the results for Sr2FeMoO6, TC is increased as a function of La doping, paving the way for double perovskites with very high TC as functional material for magnetoelectronics.
