We listed values of the measured (meas) (μeff-meas) and theoretical (theo) effective PM moments (μefftheoCr=gJμBS(S+1)=3.873μB(Cr3+:3d3,J=S=32,gJ=2),μefftheoRE=gJμBJ(J+1),andμefftheototal=(μefftheoRE)2+(μefftheoCr)2), the measured moment (Mmeas per formula at 1.8 K and 14 T), and the theoretical saturation moments (MsattheoCr=gJμBS=3μB,MsattheoRE=gJμBJ,andMsattheototal=(MsattheoRE)2+(MsattheoCr)2). The values of TN, μeff-meas, and CW temperature (θCW) were extracted from the M-T measurements by the CW-law fitting. The values of Mmeas were extracted from the M-B data. The numbers in parenthesis are the estimated standard deviations of the (next) last significant digit. Some parameters of YCrO3 (Zhu et al., 2020a) and GdCrO3 (Zhu et al., 2020c) were referred to in our previous studies.
