A newly synthesized compound U1.2Fe4Si9.7 is characterized by a layer
structure of the disordered U-atoms. AC and DC magnetization measureme
nts reveal that the compound shows the double-peak spin-glass behavior
at 19 and 23 K. High field magnetization measurements up to 51 T were
performed for the compound at 4.2 K. It shows no tendency of saturati
on or metamagnetic transition, but a monotonic increase with increasin
