Abstract
Upper critical field and penetration depth of superconducting ErNi2B2C borocarbide thin films have been investigated and compared with the same properties of SmRh4B4 films. The coexistence of superconductivity and antiferromagnetic order is described through Machida's theory. A fairly satisfactory description of the experimental results is obtained.
