  Double perovskite, (Sr1-xNdx)2FeMoO6, was doped with electrons through
partial substitution of divalent Sr by trivalent Nd (0 < x < 0.2). The Fe
valence and the degree of B-site order were probed by 57Fe Mossbauer
spectroscopy. Replacing Sr by Nd increased the fraction of Fe and Mo atoms
occupying wrong sites, i.e. antisite disorder. It had very little effect on the
Fe valence: a small but visible increase in the isomer shift was seen for the
mixed-valent FeII/III atoms occupying the right site indicating a slight
movement towards divalency of these atoms, which was more than counterbalanced
by the increase in the fraction of antisite Fe atoms with III valence state. It
is therefore argued that the bulk of the electron doping is received by
antisite Mo atoms, which - being surrounded by six MoV/VI atoms - prefer the
lower IV/V valence state. Thus under Nd substitution, the charge-neutrality
requirement inflicts a lattice disorder such that low-valent MoIV/V can exist.
