Abstract

Neutron powder diffraction and magnetic measurements have been carried out on RCuxGe2 (R=Ho, Er) compounds. Both compounds crystallize in the orthorhombic CeNiSi2-type structure (space group Cmcm) and they are antiferromagnets with the Néel temperature equal to 4.5K for R=Er and 8.0K for R=Ho. Neutron diffraction measurements indicate the presence of collinear magnetic structures of the Gz mode in HoCu0.33Ge2 and Gx mode in ErCu0.25Ge2.
