Popis: In this communication, structural and magnetic properties of RPtInD 1.3 (R=Tb, Er, Tm) deuterides are reported. For the first time deuterium-rich compounds were synthesized for the RPtIn family. The investigated deuterides crystallize with the hexagonal ZrNiAl-type crystal structure, with slightly different lattice constants with respect to the basic compounds. In general, the a -lattice constant exhibit contraction, while the c -lattice constant tends to increase upon introducing deuterium. The compounds with Tb and Er shows magnetic ordering at 95 K and 15.5 K, respectively. On the other hand, for Tm based sample no magnetic ordering was evidenced down to 2 K.
