Materials with the perovskite crystal structure are ubiquitous in condensed matter physics. Despite being known for several years, the quadruple perovskites, which afford superior chemical flexibility, have only recently found significant attention. They display a variety of technologically relevant properties such as multiferroicity and low-field magnetoresistance, as well as entirely novel electronic states. For the first time we have synthesised the Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, and Y rare-earth quadruple perovskite manganites. Through bulk characterisation we have found three distinct modes of electronic ordering across the series, which is always closely linked to magnetic order. Here, we propose a comprehensive neutron powder diffraction study to solve the magnetic structures – key to developing a physical model of these topical materials.
