The y-ray emission anisotropy from the long-lived isomer

Ho is determined as 3.60(5) pN. After adiabatic demagnetization, temperatures of approximately 1 mK were reached, and the nuclear ordered state has been studied. The results confirm that it is anti-ferromagnetic, and that the ordering is consistent with the predictions of Bleaney (1980), based on an effective field treatment of the dipole-dipole interaction between the enhanced nuclear moments. In particular, the spin-flop phase has been identified in fields of order 10
