Abstract
The R(2)In compounds (R = rare earth) form an isostructural series whi ch presents a great variety of magnetic behaviors depending on the nat ure of the rare earth. In this paper we present a study of Er-2. In by means of magnetic and transport measurements, Mossbauer spectroscopy and neutron diffraction. Our results reveal that this compound orders ferromagnetically below T-C = 40 K: the saturated moments at both the Er3+ sites are 8.0 mu(B) and they lie close to the basal plane.
