Abstract
We present a single-crystal study of the magnetic behaviour in HoNiAl. It orders magnetically below T ord=13 K and undergoes an additional magnetic phase transition at T 1=5 K. Below T 1, holmium moments create a canted magnetic structure which consists of a ferromagnetic component along the c-axis and an antiferromagnetic component within the basal plane. Between T 1 and T ord, the magnetic structure in HoNiAl is, in the case of our sample, a simple ferromagnet with holmium moments aligned along the c-axis, what is considerably different from the previous polycrystalline data. The magnetocrystalline anisotropy in HoNiAl is very weak.
