Abstract

Reports the results of magnetic measurements performed on U(FexCo1-x)2 compounds in the temperature range 4.2-500K. For the Fe content x<0.62, the compounds show an exchange-enhanced paramagnetism. The magnetic susceptibility chi 0, is not temperature dependent. The chi 0 values increase with increasing Fe content. The compounds with x>0.62 are ferromagnetic. The saturation magnetisation decreases with increasing Co content. Above the Curie point, the data can be described by considering a Pauli paramagnetic term in addition to a Curie-Weiss behaviour. The composition dependence of the saturation magnetisation is analysed using the local environment model.
