摘要：

The phase diagrams of holmium in the field-temperature plane have been determined using neutron diffraction, for magnetic fields applied along the c axis and along an easy b axis in the basal plane. In the c axis case we find at low temperatures that the wavevector of the magnetic order increases in a series of commensurate phases which form a "devil's staircase". In the basal plane case, for temperatures up to 30 K and magnetic fields up to 0.5 T similar commensurate structures are stabilised. At higher fields and temperatures various types of distorted spiral structures are observed, including the recently predicted "helifan (3/2)".
