Abstract
Antiferromagnetic ErAgSn compound was investigated in detail by Sn-119 Moss bauer spectroscopy in a temperature range between 2.2 and 300 K. The Sn-119 spectra recorded below 4.2 K can be well fitted with a single main magneti c component in agreement with recent neutron diffraction studies [1]. A bro ad distribution of magnetic hyperfine fields observed above 4.2 K and enhan ced spin correlations among Er3+ ions at T > T-N = 5.6 K are the remarkable features of the investigated system.
