Abstract: The compounds R2PdSi3, with R = rare earth, exhibit a very interesting magnetic behavior with two phase transitions. Substituting one in four Si atoms by Pd in HoSi2 results in a modulation of the aristotype. There are several different variants discussed in literature about the nature of the modulation of this rare-earth compound. Two of the latest models were compared: a 2 × 2 × 1 layer and a 2 × 2 × 8 stack. The chosen method is Diffraction Anomalous Fine Structure (DAFS) and was applied both experimentally and by simulation at different absorption edges and reflections, i. a. a satellite reflection, aiming on finding the correct crystal structure.
