We present experimental investigation on critical phenomena in Cu_{2}OSeO_{3} by analyzing the critical behavior of magnetization using a new method. This is necessary as a crossover from 3D Ising to 3D Heisenberg has been observed in Cu_{2}OSeO_{3}. The proposed method is applicable to explore the physics for a wide range of materials showing trivial or nontrivial critical behavior on two sides of the transition.

The second order phase transitions have been identified at these transition points with the help of change in entropy analysis and modified Arrott plots (MAPs). The critical behavior around T[Formula: see text], T[Formula: see text] and T[Formula: see text] have been studied by MAPs and Kouvel-Fisher method.

The dimensionality of the RP series manganites depends on the number of perovskite layers and significantly affects the magnetic and transport properties of the system. Generally, when a ferromagnetic material undergoes a magnetic phase transition from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic state, the magnetic moment of the system becomes zero above the transition temperature (T[Formula: see text]).

To reveal the universality class that explains the critical behavior in LaSrMnO several methods, such as modified Arrott plots, Kouvel-Fisher, entropy and critical isotherm analysis have been employed. The critical exponent [Formula: see text] for infinite-layer is obtained independently from critical magnetization isotherm and found to satisfy the Widom scaling relation [Formula: see text].
