Title: Magnetic structures of R 5Ni 2In 4 and R 11Ni 4In 9 ( R = Tb and Ho): Strong hierarchy in the temperature dependence of the magnetic ordering in the multiple rare-earth sublattices

In this study, the magnetic properties and magnetic structures of the R 5Ni 2In 4 and the microfibrous R 11Ni 4In 9 compounds with R = Tb and Ho have been examined using magnetization, heat capacity, and neutron diffraction data. Rare earth atoms occupy three and five symmetrically inequivalent rare earth sites in R 5Ni 2In 4 and R 11Ni 4In 9 compounds, respectively. As a result of the intra- and inter-magnetic sublattice interactions, the magnetic exchange interactions are different for various rare earth sites; this leads to a cascade of magnetic transitions with a strong hierarchy in the temperature dependence of the magnetic orderings.
