Description

We have determined the magnetic structure of the Fe sublattice in YFe6Ge6 by high-resolution neutron powder diffraction. The crystal space group is Cmcm and the magnetic space group is Cpm'c'm'. The Fe modes are Gx-, Gx- and Gx- at the 8d, 8e and 8g sites, respectively. The easy direction of magnetization is [100] and the propagation vector is [010]. (author)
