How disorder affects magnetic ordering is always an intriguing question, and it becomes even more interesting in the recently rising high entropy oxides due to the extremely high disorder density. However, due to the lack of high-quality single crystal samples, the strong compositional disorder effect on magnetic transition has not been deeply investigated. In this work, we have successfully synthesized high-quality single crystalline high entropy spinel ferrites (Mg_0.2Mn_0.2Fe_0.2Co_0.2Ni_0.2)_xFe_3-xO₄. Our findings from high-temperature magnetization and neutron diffraction experiments showed ferrimagnetic transitions at 748, 694, and 674 K for x values of 1, 1.5, and 1.8, respectively. Notably, the magnetic transition almost showed no broadening for x values of 1 and 1.5, compared to Fe₃O₄. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure measurements provided insights into the elemental distribution among the octahedral and tetrahedral sites. The random distribution of elements across these sites reduced the formation of local clusters and short-range orders, enhancing sample homogeneity and preserving the sharpness of the magnetic transition, despite bond length variation. Here, our study not only marks the first successful synthesis of an HEO bulk single crystal exhibiting long-range magnetic order but also sheds light on the interaction between high configurational entropy and magnetic orderings. This opens new avenues for future research and applications of magnetic high entropy oxides.
