<dt>Description</dt>
<dd>Longitudinal magnetoresistivity of a textured polycrystalline &lt;math&gt;HoNi_{2}B_{2}C\,\!&lt;/math&gt; in the reentrant region &lt;math&gt;(T = 4.7(2) K, 0 &lt; H &lt; \,\!&lt;/math&gt; &lt;math&gt;80 k O e)\,\!&lt;/math&gt; shows a cascade of field-induced magnetic phase transitions. These transitions (and the reported H - T phase diagram) are interpreted as follows: for &lt;math&gt;T &lt; T_{N}\,\!&lt;/math&gt;, an external field &lt;math&gt;(&gt;H_{C2})\,\!&lt;/math&gt; first transforms the superconducting antiferromagntic ground state into a non-superconducting distorted helical state. This distorted helical state is transformed (on further field increase) into the ferromagnetic state via two types of fan-like spin-structures. On the other hand, the formation of the helical state is attributed to the competing character of the RKKY-type antiferromagnetic couplings among the neighboring and the further neighboring planes of ferromagnetically-aligned moments. A modification of these interactions by magnetic field, pressure, impurity, etc., will drastically influence the helical state and consequently the interplay between magnetism and superconductivity.</dd>
