摘要
The crystal and magnetic structure of the C15 Laves phase of HoMn2 was restudied using powder neutron diffraction. High-resolution spectra showed HoMn2 to remain cubic F d3mBAR below the magnetic transition temperature. The Ho spins assume a spin-canted ferromagnetic structure with 7.9-mu(B) per Ho atom. One out of four Mn sites carries a moment of 0.6-mu(B) induced by the strongly polarizing magnetic environment of ferromagnetically coupled near-neighbour (111) planes of rare-earth spins. A small thermal expansion anomaly accompanied by a spin reorientation is found at the Curie point of 25 K; the Neel point of the system lies at 31 K.
