Abstract
A detailed study of the magnetic properties of the tetragonal compound DyNi2Si2 is presented. This compound exhibits two successive antiferr omagnetic phases below its Neel temperature T-N = 6 K, as shown by spe cific heat and neutron diffraction experiments. Moreover, from magneti zation measurements on a single crystal, a multistep behaviour has bee n found along the [001] easy direction, leading to a complex magnetic H-T phase diagram which includes 5 different magnetic phases.
