Abstracts

EN

The magnetic data for R_5Rh_4Ge_{10} (R = Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, and Tm) compounds was investigated by means of the dc magnetization and dc and ac magnetic susceptibility. At low temperature all these compounds are antiferromagnets. For these with R = Tb, Ho and Er below T_{N} the additional phase transitions are observed. The obtained data are compared with the neutron diffraction results.
