摘要

A powder diffraction measurement of Ho5Rh4Ge10 is reported. This compound crystallizes in the tetragonal Sc5Co4Si10-type structure (space group P4/mbm) in which the Ho atoms occupy three different sites. The neutron diffraction measurements indicate antiferromagnetic order with the Neel temperature T-N = 7 K. Below T-N an additional phase transition at 4.5 K connected with the change of the magnetic structure is observed. The Ho moments in 4(h) site form collinear order up to T-N while moments at 2(a) site form sine modulated structure. Determined experimentally magnetic structures are compared to the results of symmetry analysis.
