Description
Self-consistent energy band calculations have been made for URh3 and UPd3 and the fictitious compounds URh2Pd and URhPd2. The calculated electronic structures of these ordered compounds are used to estimate the critical concentration for the onset of ferromagnetism in the pseudobinary U(Rh/sub 1-//sub y/Pd/sub y/)3 alloys. Calculations based on the virtual crystal approximation give results very similar to those for the ordered compounds. An explanation of the anomalous volume dependence of the alloys upon y, involving a Mott transition of the 5f electrons, is presented
