Abstract
Neutron diffraction studies of Er0.9Y0.1 and Er0.8Y0.2 alloy single cr ystals have revealed that a spin configuration of both crystals is not conical, but cycloidal in the ac-plane even at low temperatures. The cycloidal structure has higher odd harmonics up to the fifth order alo ng the c-axis. These magnetic amplitudes and phase angles are determin ed on reasonable assumptions.
