Abstract

The low field magnetic susceptibility and the high field magnetic moment of D-Er2Si2O7 at low temperatures are measured by an inductance method. The susceptibility results show that D-Er2Si2O7 undergoes a transition from a paramagnetic to an antiferromagnetically ordered state at T N=1.9 +-0.1 K. The magnetic moment data is analysed on the basis of a four-sublattice antiferromagnetic spin model. The g-values obtained from magnetic susceptibility and moment experiments are compared with those of optical measurements.
