Abstract
The synthesis of REFe0.5Cr0.5O3 (RE = La, Y) using the sol–gel method is focused and their structural differences are investigated. The results of X‐ray diffraction show that the change of ion radius at position A leads to varying degrees of octahedral distortion and spatial group structure. The scanning electron microscopy analysis reveals micron‐level particles with clear boundaries, while energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy and room temperature Mössbauer spectra indicate the presence of Fe/Cr clusters in the sample and the transitional valence of iron. Disorder in the B position leads to a saturation moment that is lower than the theoretical value. The thermomagnetic profile shows a reversal of magnetization due to the interaction between the single‐ion magnetic anisotropy and the antisymmetric Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya (DM) interaction, with a broader peak is observed due to cluster formation. The difference in negative magnetic field is due to the difference in net magnetic moment caused by different DM intensities.
