Description

The magnetic structure of the compound HoNiSi2 has been studied by neutron diffraction and magnetic measurements. The paramagnetic neutron data confirmed the CeNiSi2 type of structure reported earlier for this compound. The analysis of the data collected in the magnetically ordered regime (TN=10 K) showed a collinear moment arrangement of the Ho moments along c invariant under the magnetic space group Cpm'cm (Sh57391). The refined moment value at 1.5 K is μHo=8.13(1)μB. (orig.)
