Existence of the ternary arsenide of hafnium and nickel HfNiAs has been reported earlier by [1]. The crystal structure of the isotypic ternary arsenide with cobalt HfCoAs was determined by the same authors using single crystal X-ray data. Both compounds crystallize with orthorhombic Co2Si type structure (space group Pnma). However for the compound HfNiAs only the lattice parameters were refined from powder diffraction data: a = 0.6421(2), b = 0.3760(2), c = 0.7331(3) nm [1]. The goals of our investigation were synthesis and crystal structure determination of the ternary arsenide of hafnium and nickel with equiatomic composition.
