description

The correlations of the magnetic moments and the magnetic order parameter of ErSb have been studied by neutron diffraction. The antiferromagnetic phase transition is of first order. The diffuse paramagnetic scattering is evaluated in terms of magnetic coupling tensors which are characterized by a strong two-ion anisotropy.
