Polar magnetic oxide HoCrWO6is synthesized and its crystal structure, magnetic structure, and thermodynamic properties are investigated. HoCrWO6forms the polar crystal structure (space groupPna21(#33)) due to the cation ordering of W6+and Cr3+. There is an antiferromagnetic transition atTN= 24.5 K along with the magnetic entropy change (~5 J.Kg.−1K−1at 70 kOe). Neutron diffraction measurement indicates that both Cr and Ho sublattices are ordered with the moment of 2.32(5)μBand 8.7(4)μBat 2 K, respectively. While Cr forms A-type collinear antiferromagnetic (AFM) structure with magnetic moment along thebaxis, Ho sublattice orders in a non-coplanar AFM arrangement. A comparison with isostructural DyFeWO6and DyCrWO6indicates that the magnetic structure of this family of compounds is controlled by the presence or absence ofegelectrons in the transition metal sublattice.
