Abstract
Ternary uranium compounds UCu2Sn and UAu2Al have been found to crystal lize in the hexagonal ZrPt2Al- and orthorhombic YPd2Si-type structures , respectively. Magnetic-susceptibility, electric-resistivity and spec ific-heat measurements reveal that UCu2Sn, UPt2Sn and UAu2Al undergo a ntiferromagnetic transitions at 16.6, 60 and 25 K, respectively. With decreasing temperature below T(N), the resistivity of UCu2Sn exhibits a pronounced peak, whereas those of the other two show a precipitous d rop. The extrapolated value of C/T at 0 K ranges from 17 mJ/K2 mol for UPt2Sn to 102 mJ/K2 mol for UAu2Al.
