A cubic quadruple perovskite oxide CeMn3Cr4O12 has been synthesized under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions of 8 GPa and 1273 K. The X-ray absorption spectroscopy reveals that the Ce ions are in a trivalent state, as represented by the ionic model of Ce3+Mn3+3Cr3+4O12. The magnetic study demonstrates three independent antiferromagnetic transitions attributed to Ce (∼10 K), Mn (46 K), and Cr (133 K) ions. Furthermore, a magnetic field-induced antiferromagnetic-to-ferromagnetic (metamagnetic) transition of Ce3+ 4f moments is observed at low temperatures below 20 K, exhibiting a rare example of metamagnetism in the Ce3+-oxides. This finding represents that the 3d-electron magnetic sublattices play a role in the metamagnetism of 4f-electron magnetic moments, demonstrating a new aspect of the 3d-4f complex electron systems.
