| Nuclear and magnetic properties of the ScFe4Al8 single crystal were found to exhibit unparalleled complexity of nuclear and magnetic structures. Our previous neutron measurements revealed presence of two modulation vectors, both along [žarepsilon, žarepsilon, 0], however with different critical temperatures. Recent experiments forced us to revise our knowledge of the structural ordering in the sample. So far, the crystal structure of this alloy, being of ThMn12-type, has never been questioned. |
