Electronic structure and its influence on the magnetic properties of uranium ternaries UTM — •Malgorzata Samsel-Czekala — Leibniz-Institut für Festkörper- und Werkstoffforschung, IFW Dresden, PF 270116, D-01171 Dresden, Germany — Institute of Low Temperature and Structure Research, Polish Academy of Sciences, P.O.

The electronic structure of uranium UTM compounds, where (T = Ru, Ir; M=Al, Ga, Si), is reviewed. The obtained results of band-structure calculations, employing the modern full-potential local-orbital (FPLO) minimum basis code [1], are compared with experimental data of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transport and magnetic properties, obtained for single-crystalline samples [2,3]. Good agreement is achieved between theoretical and experimental results, showing a high degree of 5f electrons delocalization in these compounds. Such phenomena as spin fluctuation or Kondo-like behavior have been revealed in the experiments.
