Abstract
Neutron diffraction and Fe-57 Mossbauer spectroscopy were used to esta blish the crystal structure of HoFe0.5Si2. Our data strongly suggest t hat this compound crystallizes in the CeNiSi2-type structure. This stu dy removes the uncertainties concerning the localization of the transi tion metal in the heavy rare earth RFexSi2 (R=Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Lu) comp ounds, previously described in the TbFeSi2-type structure.
