Trillium lattices formed by corner-shared triangular units are the platform for magnetic frustration in three dimensions. Herein, we report structural and magnetic properties of the Cr-based (S = 3/2) double trillium lattice material KBaCr₂⁢(PO₄)₃ studied by x-ray diffraction, dc and ac magnetization, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and ³¹P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements complemented by density-functional band-structure calculations. Magnetization, heat capacity, and ³¹P NMR measurements reveal the magnetic transition at T_N⁢1 ≃ 12.5 K in zero field followed by another transition (T_N⁢2) at low temperatures in weak applied fields. The ³¹P spin-lattice relaxation rate in the ordered state follows the T³ behavior indicative of the two-magnon Raman process. Finally, the spin lattice of KBaCr₂⁢(PO₄)₃ comprises two crystallographically nonequivalent ferromagnetic sublattices that are coupled antiferromagnetically, thus eliminating frustration in this trillium network and leading to weak ferromagnetism in the vicinity of T_N⁢1.
