The magnetization isotherms were used to study the superparamagnetic-like behaviour in polycrystalline (powder) RE_2WO_6 tungstates (where RE = Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho and Er). The magnetization isotherms of the majority tungstates under study revealed both the spontaneous magnetic moments and hysteresis characteristic for the superparamagnetic-like behaviour with blocking temperature T_{B} ≈ 30 K except the Sm_2WO_6 and Eu_2WO_6 compounds.
