The crystal structure is orthorhombic with the Pbnm space group (No. 62). Here transition temperature of RE3+ ions; SR = spin reorientation; temperature of Cr3+ ions; transitions temperature of Cr3+ ions. The check mark (√) represents that there exists a magnetic SR phase transition. These were summarized from the following references: GdCrO3 (Cooke et al., 1974), TbCrO3 (Gordon et al., 1976), DyCrO3 (Bertaut, 1963; Krynetskii and Matveev, 1997; Tamaki et al., 1975), HoCrO3 (Shamir et al., 1981; Su et al., 2011), ErCrO3 (Hornreich, 1978; Shamir et al., 1981), TmCrO3 (Shamir et al., 1981), YbCrO3 (Shamir et al., 1981), and LuCrO3 (Shamir et al., 1981).
