摘要
The magnetic structure of 1:1:2 stannides, determined on the basis of powder neutron diffraction data, is reported. The RNixSn2 (R=Tb, Ho) compounds crystallize in the orthorhombic CeNiSi2-type structure. Magnetic and neutron diffraction measurements show that both compounds are antiferromagnets with Neel temperatures of 17.4 K for R=Tb and 6.6 K for R=Ho. The neutron diffraction data indicate the presence of collinear magnetic structures described by the propagation vector k = (0,0,(1)/(2)) for R = Tb and k = ((1)/(2),(1)/(2),0) for R=Ho. The determined magnetic structures of RNixSn2 are compared with those observed in RNiSn, and the isostructural silicides and germanides. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
