In magnetic insulating oxides, the cubic crystal symmetry is thought to be favorable for higher Curie temperatures (TC), since the network morphology hosting the mechanisms of exchange interactions is subject to the crystal symmetry. Especially for perovskites, it is well known that the crystal symmetry dominates the exchange interactions, e.g., SrRuO3(pseudo-cubic perovskite, ferromagnetic metal) and CaRuO3(orthorhombic perovskite, paramagnetic metal). In addition to the symmetry, adopting 5dtransition metal oxides, where spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is enhanced, is a promising way to boost the long range ferri/ferromagnetic (FM) order. For example, it was shown for a pyrochlore osmate (Cd2Os2O7) that the SOC is responsible for its long range order. Here we show that a highly B-site ordered cubic double-perovskite Sr3OsO6, which satisfies the above criteria, has the highest TCof 1060 K among all insulators and oxides, and the highest magnetic ordering temperature in any compound without 3dtransition elements.
