Popis:	ErCo2 represents a typical example of magnetism of itinerant electron systems and metamagnetic processes and has been the subject of extensive research. We present here the first study of radiofrequency transverse susceptibility (TS) of bulk ErCo2 using a self-resonant tunnel-diode oscillator technique. TS measurements reveal the collective magnetic switching of the Er moments at temperatures below the ferrimagnetic transition temperature, Tc -32 K, and the existence of Co nanoclusters with short-range correlations at Tc We wish to acknowledge the support by a grant from DoD-USAMRMC through grant no.
