Abstract

We report the magnetic structure of the local moment magnetism in high-quality single crystals of the intermetallic compound Er5Ir4Si10, which shows two charge-density-wave (CDW) transitions (TCDW(1)=155 K and TCDW(2)=55 K). Bulk measurements demonstrate that the system has an effective Curie-Weiss magnetic moment of 9.7μB and undergoes long-range antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering at 2.8 K. The neutron-diffraction data establish the AFM structure of the Er3+ with unequal moments at different Er sites aligned along the c axis where also the CDW transitions occur.
