In this paper, the authors report the hydriding characteristics of U(Fe1−xNix)AlHy, with x=0.85, and show that the resulting hydrides with y⩾2 result in U-5f-electron localization and antiferromagnetic ordering.
Abstract
We report the hydriding characteristics of U(Fe1−xNix)AlHy, with x=0.85. It is found that (i) U(Fe0.15Ni0.85)Al can be hydrided to a maximum of y≈2.4 and the hydride shows antiferromagnetic ordering with T N ≈70 K , and (ii) new single phase orthorhombic hydrides can be stabilized for x⩾0.85. From our hydriding and magnetic studies on all the compositions in this series of compounds, including our earlier work, it is found that irrespective of the magnetic state of the parent composition, the hydrides with y⩾2 result in U-5f-electron localization and antiferromagnetic ordering. Structural and magnetic studies have also been carried out on the orthorhombic hydride phases and these are found not to order down to 2 K .

UCoSiH0.7: new representative of UTSiHx hydrides

TL;DR: In this article, the crystal structure and magnetic properties of the hydride UCoSiH 0.7 and products of its thermal decomposition were studied and the tendency observed for Curie-Weiss (CW) parameters, i.e., the shift of θ P to less negative values and slight increase of effective moments, can be understood as due to a reduction of the characteristic energy of spin fluctuations.

Onset of magnetism stimulated by H absorption in UNiAl- UFeAl

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe UNi0.75Fe0.85Al hydride as an antiferromagnet with TN approx. 70 K and show that it is unstable, releasing H at ambient conditions, which made it unsuitable for specific heat measurement.

The hydriding behaviour of U(Fe1−xNix)Al system (0≤x≤0.75) and magnetic studies on U(Fe1−xNix)AlH0.8

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the hydriding behavior of the solid-solution series of compounds, U(Fe 1− x Ni x )Al, and found that the magnetic properties change from exchange enhanced Pauli-paramagnetic and spin fluctuating ( x = 0), via weakly magnetic with no long range magnetic ordering down to 4 K (0 x ≤ 0.3) to ferromagnetic (0.35≤ x ≤0.75) and eventually to antiferromagnetic for x ≥ 0.9.

Structure and magnetic studies on UNiAlD2.2

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present neutron diffraction studies on UNiAlDy (y=2.2) to resolve controversies with regard to the occupancy of Ni atoms and the associated interstitial sites for (H/D) atoms, as well as the nature of magnetic ordering in the higher hydride phase with y⩾2.3.
