Popis: Neutron-diffraction investigations at temperatures down to 25 mK were performed for the high-temperature superconductor Er{sub 2}Ba{sub 4}Cu{sub 7}O{sub 14.92} (Er-247), T{sub c}=89 K on a polycrystalline sample prepared by a sol-gel technique. Below T{sub N}=0.54 K, a three-dimensional antiferromagnetic ordering of the Er ions corresponding to a propagation vector {bold k}=(1/2,0,0) and a finite correlation length of about 130 {Angstrom} along the c axis have been found. The magnetic Er moments are oriented parallel to the b axis. This work proves that Er-247 shows a long-range magnetic ordering. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
