Incommensurate magnetic structure ofCeRhIn5

Abstract
The magnetic structure of the heavy fermion antiferromagnet CeRhIn5 is determined using neutron diffraction. We find a magnetic wave vector qM=(1/2,1/2,0.297), which is temperature independent up to TN=3.8K. A staggered moment of 0.264(4)μB at 1.4 K, residing on the Ce ion, spirals transversely along the c axis. The nearest-neighbor moments on the tetragonal basal plane are aligned antiferromagnetically.
