A detailed electronic phase diagram of perovskite-type oxides Sr1−xLaxFeO3(0≤x≤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 at zero field, two of them showing multiple-q helimagnetic spin textures tend to rapidly disappear in cubic symmetry upon the La substitution with x less than 0.1, which accompanies the loss of metallic nature. On the other hand, the third helimagnetic phase apparently remains robustly in Sr1−xLaxFeO3 with x higher than 0.1, followed by merging to the spin/charge ordered phase with x∼1/3. We propose an important role of itinerant ligand holes on the emergence of multiple-q states and a possible link between the third (putative single-q) helimagnetic phase in SrFeO3 and the spin/charge ordered phase in Sr2/3La1/3FeO3.
