The cubic perovskite structure was stabilized in solid solution of SrFeO3 and SrNiO3. The compounds were obtained by high pressure synthesis and contained high valence state of Fe4+ and Ni4+ ions in the corner-sharing oxygen octahedra. SrFe1−xNixO3 with x = 0.4 and 0.5 showed ferromagnetic-like behaviors at room temperature, in contrast to the end member perovskite SrFeO3 (x = 0) with helical antiferromagnetism (TN = 134 K). Ni substituton for Fe in the cubic antiferromagnetic SrFeO3 induced the ferromagnetism.
