Abstract: The X-ray powder diffraction data for ErNi2Si2are given and the crystal structure has been refined by the Rietveld whole-pattern-fitting method. The compound ErNi2Si2crystallizes with the ThCr2Si2 type structure (tetragonal, space group I4/mmm,Z=2). The refined lattice parameters area=3.9321(1),c=9.5237(1) and the structure was refined toRp=13.09%,Rwp=16.69%. The figure of meritFN for the powder data isF30=108.2 ( 0.0063,44 ).
