We have investigated the magnetocaloric effects and critical behaviors of Eu 2 NiMnO 6 and Dy 2 NiMnO 6 double perovskite oxides. For a magnetic field varying from 0 to 7 T, the maximum values of the magnetic entropy change (| Δ S M max|) reach 4.0 J/kg K and 5.2 J/kg K, and the relative refrigeration capacity (RCP) values are 241.5 J/kg and 385.1 J/kg for Eu 2 NiMnO 6 and Dy 2 NiMnO 6, respectively. The relatively high values of| Δ S M| and RCP suggest that these double perovskite oxides can be used as candidates of magnetic refrigerants working in a wide temperature range. Various techniques such as modified Arrott plot, Kouvel-Fisher method and critical isotherm analysis are used to estimate the critical exponents (β, γ and δ) as well as T C for Eu 2 NiMnO 6. These critical exponents not only obey the Widom scaling relation δ= 1+ γ/β, but also fulfill the scaling equation M (H, ε)= ε β f±(H/ε β+ γ) where ε=(T–T C)/T C, f+(T> T C) and f-(T< T C) are the regular analytic functions. Therefore, the deduced critical exponents are reasonably accurate. Moreover, temperature variation in effective critical exponents resemble with those for disordered ferromagnet, which matches with the Griffiths-like phase behavior observed from inverse magnetic susceptibility just above T C.
