Abstract
Terbium dideuteride has been examined by elastic neutron scattering. Crystallographic parameters have been determined at 300 and 77 K. It was found that Tb undergoes a para- to antiferromagnetic transition at K. The magnetic structure at 4.6 K was determined and found to belong to the monoclinic space group . The magnetic moment per ion is 7.6(3) at 4.6 K. The reduction from the free-ion value of 9.0 / is due to crystalline electric field effects that are also apparent in the temperature dependence of the sublattice magnetization.
