Abstract: | Neutron diffraction and magnetization measurements indicate that, at low temperatures, long-range magnetic order is present in UCO2Si2, UNi2Si2, UCu2Si2, UNi2Ge2, and UCo2Ge2. UCo2Si2 and UNi2Ge2 are simple collinear antiferromagnets of +-+- type, UCu2Si2 a simple collinear ferromagnet. In UNi2Si2, a magnetic phase transition from a LSW type structure to collinear antiferromagnetism of +-+- type was found, while in UCu2Ge2, the antiferromagnetic structure of ++-- transforms into collinear ferromagnetism. Crystal structure and magnetic parameters are given. No magnetic moment on transition metal ions was found within the accuracy of a powder neutron diffraction experiment. The stability of particular magnetic ordering schemes is discussed in terms of an isotropic RKKY mechanism. |
