Abstract

Neutron diffraction measurements have been performed to study the nature of magnetic ordering in the compounds HoNiBC and ErNiBC. HoNiBC exhibits antiferromagnetic ordering of the Ho moments with a simple commensurate magnetic structure below T_N = 10 K. The magnetic unit cell, doubled along the c-direction with respect to the chemical unit cell, consists of ferromagnetic planes antiferromagnetically coupled along the c-axis. On the other hand, the Er moments in ErNiBC show ferromagnetic ordering with a Curie temperature of 4.5 K. In contrast to the case for the structurally related superconducting counterparts (HoNi₂B₂C and ErNi₂B₂C) no modulated magnetic structures were observed for any temperatures above 1.4 K.
