Magnetic Structure of DySb

A neutron-diffraction study of a single crystal of DySb has shown that at about 9.5 K the compound has a crystallographic as well as a magnetic transition. Below the transition DySb is monoclinic (almost tetragonal) with type-II antiferromagnetic ordering. The direction of the magnetic moment is close to the tetragonal axis at low temperature and tilts away with increasing temperature. The extrapolated saturation moment is $\frac{(9.8\mathrm{}\pm 0.2){\mu }_B}{\mathrm{dysprosium}}$ atom.
