Neutron diffraction measurements were made on polycrystalline samples of a 75% Pd--25% Mn alloy. It was found that long-range positional order could be obtained by appropriate heat treatment and that this order was of the one- dimensional antiphase domain type with a period of 4 cubic unit cells. Below 170 deg K antiferromagnetic reflections were observed for this ordered alloy. A magnetic structure is proposed which satisfactorily accounts for the observed magnetic reflection intensities. On the basis of this structure the atomic magnetic moments are (4.0 plus or minus 0.2)/sub mu B//Mn and (0.2 plus or minus 0.1)/sub mu B//Pd. (auth)
