Abstract
Although Dy is a superconductor below K previous studies of the resistivity, susceptibility, and upper critical field strongly suggest the development of magnetic order at K. The present neutron study shows conclusively that this superconducting compound also develops coexistent long-range (greater than 300 Å) antiferromagnetic order at . The Dy atoms form a simple cubic sublattice (with a slight rhombohedral distortion) in which the observed magnetic structure consists of (100) planes with moments of 8.77 alternately parallel and antiparallel to the [111] direction.
