In this paper, a detailed investigation with respect to the structural, cryogenic magnetic properties and magnetocaloric performances of RE 2 CuMnO 6 (RE = Gd, Dy, Ho and Er) double perovskite (DP) compounds has been performed. All the RE 2 CuMnO 6 compounds are confirmed to B -site disordered and crystallized in the GdFeO 3 -type structure (Pnma space group, N 62, oP20). The magnetic transition temperatures (T M) are found to be ~7.5 K for Gd 2 CuMnO 6 , ~12.1 K for Dy 2 CuMnO 6 , ~12.2 K for Ho 2 CuMnO 6 , and ~3.6 K for Er 2 CuMnO 6 , respectively. Moreover, for checking the magnetocaloric performances several vital parameters including -Δ S M max (peak value of magnetic entropy change, -Δ S M), TEC (3) (temperature averaged -Δ S M) and RCP (relative cooling powers) are evaluated to be 7.84, 7.73 J/kgK and 151.1 J/kg for Gd 2 CuMnO 6 , 5.69, 5.59 J/kgK and 180.9 J/kg for Dy 2 CuMnO 6 , 7.12, 7.05 J/kgK and 192.4 J/kg for Ho 2 CuMnO 6 , as well as 9.92, 9.60 J/kgK and 195.9 J/kg for Er 2 CuMnO 6 under the magnetic field change Δ H = 5 T, respectively.
