Description

We studied the role of uranium 5f states at room temperature in optical and magneto-optical properties of uranium intermetallic compounds U x Y1-x Fe10Si2. The uranium atoms were observed to strongly enhance the magneto-optical effects from near infrared to ultraviolet spectral range. This shows on remarkable contribution of uranium 5f states even at room temperature, in spite of low number of 5f electrons and their minute magnetism compared to the dominating iron 3d electrons
