Description

Neutron-diffraction study confirmed the occurrence of an UGeTe type of structure in UPTe and UAsTe. The parameters of uranium and X (X = P, As) atoms were refined using the room temperature neutron data. Below the Curie point the magnetic moment alignment has been found to be along the fourfold axis, in accordance with previous magnetization measurements. The magnetic moment of the uranium ion at liquid helium temperature has been determined to be 1.44 and 1.59 BM in UPTe and UAsTe, respectively. [Russian Text Ignored]
