Abstract

A detailed electronic phase diagram of perovskite-type oxides Sr1x_{1-x}Lax_xFeO3_3 (0x0.5)(0\leq x \leq 0.5) was established by synchrotron X-ray diffraction, magnetization, and transport measurements for polycrystalline samples synthesized by a high-pressure technique. Among three kinds of helimagnetic phases in SrFeO3_3 at zero field, two of them showing multiple-q{\it q} helimagnetic spin textures tend to rapidly disappear in cubic symmetry upon the La substitution with xx less than 0.1, which accompanies the loss of metallic nature. On the other hand, the third helimagnetic phase apparently remains robustly in Sr1x_{1-x}Lax_xFeO3_3 with xx higher than 0.1, followed by merging to the spin/charge ordered phase with x1/3x\sim 1/3. We propose an important role of itinerant ligand holes on the emergence of multiple-q{\it q} states and a possible link between the third (putative single-q{\it q}) helimagnetic phase in SrFeO3_3 and the spin/charge ordered phase in Sr2/3_{2/3}La1/3_{1/3}FeO3_3.
