Tm/sub 2/Fe/sub 3/Si/sub 5/ has been studied at low temperatures by neutron powder diffraction techniques. At T=1.5K the diffraction pattern is characteristic of a tetragonal crystal structure, space group P4/mnc (D/sub 4h//sup 6/; with a=10.332 AA and c=5.388 AA), similar to that of the prototype compound Sc/sub 2/Fe/sub 3/Si/sub 5/. Below T=1.2K magnetic scattering peaks develop, which can be indexed with the parameters of the chemical cell. A noncollinear antiferromagnetic structure is proposed which features ordering of Tm moments in the (110) set of directions. The magnetic moment of Tm is 6.5 mu /sub B/ at the lowest temperature attained, 0.35K. (17 References).
