Abstract

Neutron powder-diffraction measurements of PrNiAl 4 were carried out at temperatures above and below the Néel temperature of 8.4 K. The antiferromagnetic structure was determined; the propagation vector is (010), and the magnetic moment is 2.59µ B along the a -axis. This magnetic structure is consistent with the results of magnetization and magnetic susceptibility measurements on a single crystalline sample.
