Description
The magnetic structure of the orthorhombic ErNiC2 ternary compound was studied by neutron diffraction. The structure is collinear antiferromagnetic. The Neel temperature is 8 K. The magnetic unit cell has the same dimensions as the chemical one with a magnetic propagation vector k=[0,0,1]. The erbium moments are oriented along the crystallographic a-axis and have a value of 8.7 μB at 4.2 K. (orig.)
