Resumo

Powder neutron-diffraction measurements on both SmFeAsO and the fluorine-doped superconductor, ${\text{SmFeAsO}}_{0.85}{\text{F}}_{0.15}$, show that the Sm sublattice orders magnetically. In both cases we observe a simple layered antiferromagnetic arrangement of the $\ensuremath{\sim}0.5{\ensuremath{\mu}}_{B}$ Sm moments. This provides direct evidence that long-ranged magnetic order of the samarium moments coexists with superconductivity in the ${\text{SmFeAsO}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\text{F}}_{x}$ system.
