Description

UFe10Si2 and UCo10Si2 form solid solution with the ThMn12 type of tetragonal structure. The lattice parameter a follows the Vegard law and parameter c does not. The increase of cobalt content depresses a saturation magnetization at 4.2 K almost linearly, whereas the remanence for all samples is very low. The highest Curie point equal to 750 K is observed for UFe6Co4Si2. The annealing process does not affect the Curie point of these materials, however increases slightly the saturation magnetization. Two samples from the U(Fe, Co, Al)10Si2 system have been investigated too
