We have studied the crystal structure, magnetic structure and magnetic properties of the tetragonal compound DyTiGe by means of neutron-diffraction and magnetic measurements. The neutron diffraction measurements were made in the range 1.7–240K and showed that DyTiGe has an antiferromagnetic structure with a propagation vector q=(0,0,0.5). The Dy moments have a preferred moment direction along the tetragonal axis at all temperatures in the magnetically ordered regime. The magnetic measurements showed that a forced ferromagnetic alignment of the Dy moments can be reached at 5K in applied fields larger than 20T. This ferromagnetic alignment is reached via two field-induced transitions at critical fields of 9.5 and 17.5T. The lower critical field is strongly temperature dependent and becomes close to 2T near the ordering temperature. The maximum magnetic-entropy change at T N in a field change from 0 to 5T is very low and does not exceed 2J/kgK.
