Abstract
In order to resolve the controversy over the low-temperature magnetic phase of UCu2Ge2 ac susceptibility, neutron-depolarization and neutron -diffraction measurements have been carried out on a well-annealed pol ycrystalline sample. Our measurements reveal that UCu2Ge2 remains ferr omagnetic at all temperatures below T-c (107 K), but in the temperatur e range, 25-45 K, the system seems to have a randomly canted ferromagn etic phase.
