Description
A polycrystalline sample of antiferromagnet UCuSn has been studied by neutron diffraction. The data obtained at 90 K (paramagnetic state) indicate that the crystal structure is hexagonal with an ordered distribution of Cu and Sn atoms in the unit cell (P63mc). In the antiferromagnetic state, the uranium moments with a value of 1.9(1)μB lie in the bc plane and form an angle of 25 with the b-axis. The magnetic space group UCuSn is P21'm'c. (orig.)
