Abstract
RTSb2 (R=Pr,Nd: T=Cu.Pd) compounds crystallize in the tetragonal ZrCuSi2-ty pe of crystal structure and are antiferromagnets with Neel temperatures of 7.6 K for PrPdSb2. 3.78 K for NdCuSb2 and 7.0 K for NdPdSb2. Neutron diffra ction data indicate that at 1.5 K all these compounds show sine-wave modula ted magnetic ordering with different values of the wave vector: k=(0,0,0.74 3(2)) for PrPdSb2, (0.0.3336(13).0) for NdCuSb2 and (0.0.0.2274(15)) for Nd PdSb2.
