Abstract

High-entropy perovskite oxide (HEPO) crystallizes in perovskite structure (ABO3) and is characterized by five or more elements sharing one lattice site (A or B). HEPO has received a lot of attention in recent years due to its excellent properties. A single phase (La0.2Y0.2Pr0.2Nd0.2Sm0.2)CrO3 is prepared by solid phase reaction method, and its crystal structure and magnetic properties are investigated here. Although five rare earth elements occupy the same lattice site, a unitary perovskite structure formed. The magnetic measurement results show an antiferromagnetic transition at about 210 K, and interesting magnetization reversal and exchange bias effect at low temperature.
