Equimolar ratio high-entropy perovskite ceramics (HEPCs) have attracted much attention for their excellent magnetization intensity. To further enhance its magnetization intensity, (Ln0.2La0.2Nd0.2Sm0.2Eu0.2)MnO3 (Ln = Dy, Ho and Er, labeled as Ln-LNSEMO) HEPCs were designed based on the configuration entropy Sconfig, tolerance factor t and mismatch degree σ2. Single-phase HEPCs were synthesized by the solid-phase method in this work, which systematically studied the effects of the heavy rare-earth elements Dy, Ho and Er on the structure and magnetic properties of Ln-LNSEMO. The results show that all Ln-LNSEMO HEPCs exhibit a high crystallinity and maintain excellent structural stability after sintering at 1250 ℃ for 16 h. Ln-LNSEMO HEPCs exhibit significant lattice distortion effects, with smooth surface morphology, clearly distinguishable grain boundaries and irregular polygonal shapes. The present study investigates the influence of A-site average ion radius, grain size and lattice distortion on the magnetic interactions of Ln-LNSEMO HEPCs. The three high-entropy ceramic samples exhibit hysteresis behavior at T = 5 K, with the Curie temperature TC decreasing as the radius of the introduced rare-earth ions decreases, while the saturation magnetization and coercivity increase accordingly. When the average ionic radius of A-site decreases, the interaction between their valence electrons and local electrons in the crystal increases, thereby enhancing the conversion of electrons to oriented magnetic moments under an external magnetic field. Thus, Er-LNSEMO HEPCs show a higher saturation magnetization strength (42.8 emu/g) and coercivity (2.09 kOe) compared to the other samples, which is attributed to the strong magnetic crystal anisotropy, larger lattice distortion σ2 (6.52×10-3), smaller average grain size (440.49 ±22.02 nm), unit cell volume (229.432 Å3) and A-site average ion radius (1.24 Å) of its magnet, which has potential applications in magnetic recording materials.
