The magnetic structure of CrNiAs was determined from magnetisation and powder neutron diffraction experiments. In the 110-182 K temperature range, the compound is ferromagnetic, resulting mainly from the Cr moment of 1.25(5) μB. Below 110 K, neutron diffraction data reveals typical satellite reflections which propagation vector is 0.228 c*. A model of oscillating magnetic moments was refined from the integrated intensity of the few additional lines.

The Mn3Sb metastable compound is formed at high pressure and temperature and it decomposes upon heating above 420 K into Mn2Sb and Mn. It has a cubic crystalline structure describing the Pm-3m (№ 221) space group with a lattice parameter of a = 0.400 nm. In the present work, according to the results of neutron diffraction investigations and taking into account magnetometry data, it is shown that Mn3Sb is an antiferromagnet, and a model of the magnetic structure with a triangular configuration of equal magnetic moments in magnitude is proposed. The magnetic moments of manganese atoms, constituting the basis of a unit magnetic cell, lie in the (111) plane and form an equilateral triangle. According to neutron diffraction data, the magnetic moments of manganese atoms were determined at different temperatures.
