Magnetic phase diagram of the HoRh2-xRuxSi2 solid solution

The magnetic phase diagram of the solid solution HoRh2-xRuxSi2 (ThCr2Si2-type crystal structure) has been established based on neutron diffraction data collected for seven intermediate compositions and supplemented by magnetometric data. Collinear antiferromagnetic structures described by the wave vectors [0,0,1], [1/2, 1/2, 1/2] and [1/2, 1/2, 0] develop successively as the Ru concentration denoted by the index x rises from 0 to 0.75, followed by antiferromagnetic sine modulated structures with wave vectors k = [k(x), k(x), k(z)], k = [k(x), k(x), 0] and k = [k(x), 0, 0] observed in the concentration range 0.5 < x < 2.
