Abstract
The magnetic properties of RRu(2)X(2) compounds are characterized by l ong period commensurate and/or incommensurate structures, anisotropic multistep metamagnetic processes, and complex field-temperature phase diagrams. These properties originate from the competition between anta gonistic RKKY interactions in the presence of magnetocrystalline aniso tropy.
