Abstract
Magnetic ordering in the hyperfine enhanced nuclear ferromagnetic PrNi5 was investigation in external magnetic fields up to 72 mT at temperatures from below the ordering temperature up to about 20 mK. An anisotropy of the mag netization and ac susceptibility was observed for two single crystalline sa mples having a or c crystallographic axis parallel to rite external field. The results show that the nuclear magnetic moments of PI are ordered in the basal plane of the hexagonal crystal structure of PrNi5.
