Description

The metallographic and X-ray diffraction data are given for the new ternary silicide U3MoSi2. This compound melts incongruently at approximately 1480 C according to: U3MoSi2→U4MoSi3+U2Mo3Si4+L (L=peritectic liquid). It was verified that molybdenum coexists with U3Si2 predominantly as U3MoSi2. Indexing of the powder pattern showed that U3MoSi2 has a simple cubic structure with lattice parameter aυ=10.69 ± 0.01 A. (orig.)
