S. Kawano et al., MAGNETIC-STRUCTURES AND MAGNETIC PHASE-DIAGRAM OF ER-Y ALLOY SINGLE-CRYSTALS, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 177, 1998, pp. 1019-1020
Neutron diffraction studies have been performed on single crystals of
Er0.9Y0.1 and Er0.8Y0.2. Both crystals exhibit a sinusoidal spin confi
guration along the c-axis at high temperatures, while at low temperatu
res not a conical but a cycloidal one in the nc-plane. Magnetic struct
ural properties and the phase diagram for these crystals are given. (C
