Magnetic structure and component-separated transitions of HoNiSi\(_{3}\)
HoNiSi\(_{3}\) is an intermetallic compound characterized by two successive antiferromagnetic transitions at \(T_{N1} = 6.3\) K and \(T_{N2} = 10.4\) K. Here, its zero-field microscopic magnetic structure is inferred from resonant x-ray magnetic diffraction experiments on a single crystalline sample...

Zusammenfassung: | HoNiSi\(_{3}\) is an intermetallic compound characterized by two successive antiferromagnetic transitions at \(T_{N1} = 6.3\) K and \(T_{N2} = 10.4\) K. Here, its zero-field microscopic magnetic structure is inferred from resonant x-ray magnetic diffraction experiments on a single crystalline sample that complement previous bulk magnetic susceptibility data. For \(T < T_{N2}\), the primitive magnetic unit cell matches the chemical cell. The magnetic structure features ferromagnetic {\it ac} planes stacked in an antiferromagnetic \(\uparrow \downarrow \uparrow \downarrow\) pattern. For \(T_{N1} < T < T_{N2}\), the ordered magnetic moment points along \(\vec{a}\), and for \(T < T_{N1}\) a component along \(\vec{c}\) also orders. A symmetry analysis indicates that the magnetic structure for \(T |
