✦ Synopsis

The results of magnetization measurements of a Dy 3 Ni single crystal are presented. A sharp jump of magnetization is observed along aand c-axis, whereas the magnetization along the b-axis increases gradually. Lack of saturation, strong anisotropy and relatively low values of the magnetic moments observed in magnetic fields up to 35 T are caused by noncollinear magnetic structure that remains even in strong magnetic fields. A magnetic phase diagram with the magnetic field applied along the main crystallographic axes is presented.
