Abstract

An X-ray diffraction pattern for ErNi2Ge2 at room temperature is reported. ErNi2Ge2 is tetragonal with lattice parameters a=4.0191(2) Å, c=9.7643(2) Å, space group I4/mmm, and Z=2. The lattice parameters derived from Rietveld analysis agree well with the results of a least-squares refinement.
