Abstract: | Ho3Pd4Ge4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Gd6Cu8Ce8-type of structure (space group Immm) in which the Ho atoms occupy two nonequivalent crystallographic positions: 2a and 4j. Neutron diffraction measurements indicate that the Ho moments in the 4j site below 6.7 K form a collinear antiferromagnetic structure with the magnetic moments parallel to the a axis, whereas the Ho moments in the 2a site below 5 K form a sine-wave modulated structure with the magnetic moments parallel to the c axis. |
