Abstract
Neutron diffraction studies of PrCu2Sn2 and NdCu2Sn2 compounds indicate tha t both compounds exhibit the tetragonal primitive crystal structure of CaBe 2Ge2-type, PrCu2Sn2 below T-N=3.8 K is an antiferromagnet with a collinear antiferromagnetic structure of the AFI-type while NdCu2Sn2 is a paramagnet up to 1.6 K.
