Abstract

Neutron diffraction experiments have been performed in order to study the magnetic order of the heavyfermion compound YbNiAl. Below the Néel temperature at TA' = 2.9 K a sinusoidally modulated structure is found with an amplitude of the modulation of n = ( 1.9 ±Q.2)nn at T = 200 mK. The magnetic propagation vector is km = (rOO) with T = (0.779 ±0.001), and the magnetic Yb-moments are directed perpendicular to the hexagonal c-axis. The results obtained on YbNiAl are discussed in comparison to RNiAl compounds with other rare earth atoms R.
