Abstract
The low-field, low-temperature magnetic phase of the tetragonal compou nd DyRu2Si2 is studied by neutron diffraction on a single crystal. The analysis of all the harmonies of the fundamental long-period commensu rate propagation vector is consistent with the (40(4) over bar) magnet ic structure in which one ninth of the moments of the magnetic unit ce ll vanish. The origin of such a non-usual structure is discussed.
