摘要
A sample with global composition U2.2Fe2Sn was arc melted and annealed at 750 degreesC. The crystal structure of the main phase obtained was refined assuming a tetragonal ordered version of the U3Si2-type structure (space group P4/mbm) down to a residual value of R-Bragg = 0.0868 (R-F = 0.0584). A final U2.1Fe2Sn0.9 composition was obtained from the refinement. Magnetization, AC-susceptibility and Fe-57 Mossbauer results point to the existence of a small concentration of the U5Sn4 ferromagnetic impurity in the sample. No further magnetic transitions were observed down to 2 K. A strong hybridization of the 4s and/or 3d electrons of Fe is suggested from the low isomer shift values of Fe. A broad maximum in the magnetization at similar to 125 K is observed, indicating spin-fluctuation features in this system. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
