Abstract
The magnetic anisotropy in UF10-xNixSi2 series has been studied by torsion magnetometry and initial ac magnetic susceptibility measurements in the tem perature range of 71-293 K. The effective anisotropy constant changes with Ni content showing some increase for intermediate concentration. An increas e in magnetic anisotropy energy at low temperatures is due to the uranium s ublattice ordering. Magnetic anisotropy behaviour in UFe2Ni8Si2 is influenc ed by an additional enhancement of the 3d sublattice connected with the ord ering Fe magnetic moments.
