Description

A combined x-ray and neutron diffraction study has shown that the so-called ''triple-q'' structure is not the correct model of the magnetic structure of neodymium. The x-ray data showed only the Bragg reflections originating from the double-hcp lattice. Hence, all additional reflections observed below T/sub N/ by neutrons are of magnetic origin. Additional neutron-diffraction data have shown that the magnetic structure must be described by modulation wave vectors with components both parallel and perpendicular to the <100> axes
