The rare-earth intermetallics RCu (R = Ho, Tm, Er) condense in the centrosymmetric CsCl-structure. As a consequence of several competing interactions (itinerant, indirect exchange, quadrupolar interactions as well as crystal electric fields), a rich magnetic phase diagram with a multitude of phase pockets unfolds. In these phases, the localized 4f magnetic moments exhibit complex arrangements as magnetic ground states. For a proper determination of these structures, several neutron techniques were combined. Both as a function of temperature and field the compounds undergo phase transitions between several antiferromagnetic multi-k states. The textures we identified are highly non-collinear and exhibit modulations with a large wavelength in the range of nanometres.
