Abstract
DyIr2Si2 and ErIr2Si2 (ThCr2Si2 structure type) have been investigated by magnetization, neutron diffraction and Mossbauer measurements with the Er-166 and Ir-193 resonances. These intermetallics were shown to order antiferromagnetically at 40 K (Dy) and 10 K (Er) and to exhibit metamagnetic behaviour. The AF order is of type I for both compounds, with the Dy moments (10 mu(B)) pointing along the c-axis and the Er mo ments (8.76 mu(B)) in the basal plane.
