“…Double perovskite R 2 CoMnO 6 (R = La, …, Lu) compounds, where Co 2+ and Mn 4+ ions are alternately located in corner-shared octahedral environments, exhibit assorted physical properties such as metamagnetism 15–17 , exchange bias 18,19 , the re-entrant spin-glass state 20,21 , and multiferroicity 16,22–24 because of the intricate magnetic interactions and ionic valence/antisite disorders between mixed-valence magnetic ions. The ferromagnetic order originates from the dominant Co 2+ and Mn 4+ superexchange interactions, and its transition temperature varies linearly from 204 K for La 2 CoMnO 6
25 to 48 K for Lu 2 CoMnO 6
26 as the size of the rare earth ions decreases. GCMO crystallizes in a monoclinic P2
