Abstract
The low temperature nuclear orientation of Tb-160 impurities in Gd and Y single crystals has been studied in the temperature range 7-40 mK a nd in the external magnetic field range 0-7.3 T applied along a-, b- a nd c-crystal axes. In the case of Th in Gd we found a considerable non collinearity of the Th magnetic moment with respect to the magnetic ex ternal field direction even for high B(ext). In the case of Tb in Y th e results cannot be described by a simple model, taking into account t he simultaneous influence of the crystal and external magnetic fields. Some new proposals for interpretation of the experimental dat are giv en.
