Structures and magnetic properties for double perovskites Ba{sub 2}CaMO{sub 6} (M=W, Re, Os) were investigated. Both Ba{sub 2}CaReO{sub 6} and Ba{sub 2}CaWO{sub 6} show structural phase transitions at low temperatures. For Ba{sub 2}CaReO{sub 6}, the second order transition from cubic Fm3-bar m to tetragonal I4/m has been observed near 120K. For Ba{sub 2}CaWO{sub 6}, the space group of the crystal structure is I4/m at 295K and the transition to monoclinic I2/m has been observed between 220K. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show that Ba{sub 2}CaReO{sub 6} (S=1/2) and Ba{sub 2}CaOsO{sub 6} (S=1) transform to an antiferromagnetic state below 15.4 and 51K, respectively. Anomalies corresponding to their structural phase transition and magnetic transition have been also observed through specific heat measurements.
