Abstract
Neutron diffraction experiments on polycrystalline samples of ErBa2Cu3O7 show that Er moments are ordered three-dimensionally at T = 140 mK. Two independent propagation vectors k1 = (1/2 0 0) and k2 = (1/2 0 1/2) are required to index the magnetic reflections. Er moments are inclined at an angle of 32 deg to the c-axis and the ordered magnetic moment at 140 mK is 4.9 (2) µB.
