Abstract
Dilute YEr alloys show the existence of sinusoidaily modulated antiferromagnetism down to the lowest impurity concentrations studied. Extrapolation of the Néel temperatures for both YEr and YTb suggests a critical concentration is ≈ 0.8 % Tb, Er. Ordering in such dilute alloys may result from exchange enhancement in the yttrium host.
