| Research Abstract |
We have studied systematically magnetic properties of 1. binary U-M, 2. pseudobinary U-(M,M') and 3, ternary U-Cu-Al compounds and obtained the following results :
1.(1) U-Au system : It was found that this system contains UAu_3, U_<14>Au_<51> and UAu_2 and they all belong to the heavy fermion system. Their magnetic properties were also studied by specific heat in magnetic fields and magnetization in ultra-high fields.
(2) U-Ru and U-Os systems : All the compounds were found to be Pauli paramagnetic.
(3) U-Rh system : URh was found to be a weak ferromagnet of Tc=55k and all the others to be Curie Weirs paramagnets.
(4) U-Pd system : U_5Pd_6 was found to be a heavy. fermion antiferromagnet. UPd_4 and UPd_5 showed localized magnetic behavior, but depending much on heat-treatments.
2. (1) U_<14>Au_<51-x>Cu_x : T_N Shoved a marked decrease with x due to a chemical pressure effect.
(2) URh_<1-x>(Os,Ru)_x : Tc decreased with x , showing spin fluctuation effects around x_C=0.3.
3. Ternary UCu_<4+x>Al_<8-x> system : We prepared the ThMn_<12>-type samples for 0<less than or equal>X<less than or equal>2, and found that T_N decreases steeply with x (T_N=37K for x=0.25) and disappears for X*1.5. It was found that the compounds for X*1.5 reverl pronounced heavy fermion behavior. We also studied microscopic magnetic properties by ^<27>Al NMR.
