Neutron Diffraction Study of the Magnetism in Single-Crystalline CeCu2(Si1-xGex)2

O. Stockert, M. Deppe, C. Geibel, F. Steglich, D. Hohlwein, R. Schneider

We have studied single-crystalline CeCu2(Si1-xGex)2 using neutron diffraction to determine the antiferromagnetic order in the regime with low Ge content, x \le 0.5. The system orders in an incommensurate magnetic structure with a propagation vector close to \tau = (0.25 0.25 0.5). Up to two additional phase transitions were observed below the Néel temperature characterized by a spin reorientation and a lock-in to a probably commensurate structure.
