EN

Magnetic properties of orthorhombic RCoSn (R = Tb-Er) and RRhGe (R = Ce,Nd) (of the TiNiSi-type of crystal structure), were studied by magnetometric and neutron diffraction methods. All RTX compounds order antiferromagnetically at low temperatures. The magnetic structure of TbCoSn and HoCoSn is sine-wave-modulated with the wave vectors k_{1} = (0, 0.25, 0.11) and k_{2} = (0, 0.333, 0), respectively. The magnetic structures of CeRhGe and NdRhGe compounds are collinear (C mode). Magnetic moments of 1.4(2) and 2.0(2) μ_{B} localized respectively on Ce and Nd ions, are aligned along the a-axis.
