Results of structure analysis, and magnetization, susceptibility and electr
ical resistivity measurements on Er6Ni2Sn as functions of temperature and m
agnetic field are presented and analyzed. Antiferromagnetic ordering is ind
icated below T-N = 35 K and the occurrence of two other order-order transit
ions at 7 and 17 K are concluded from the available data. (C) 2001 Elsevier
