The perovskite-type compounds containing both rare earth and osmium Ba 2 LnOsO 6 (Ln = Pr, Nd, Sm-Lu) have been prepared. Powder X-ray diffraction measurements and Rietveld analysis show that Ln 3+ and Os 5+ ions are structurally ordered at the M site of the perovskite BaMO 3 . Magnetic susceptibility and specific heat measurements show that an antiferromagnetic ordering of Os 5+ ions has been observed for Ba 2 LnOsO 6 (Ln = Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Lu) at 65-71 K. Magnetic ordering of Ln 3+ moments occurs when the temperature is furthermore decreased.3
