Abstract
Atomic arrangement in U2XSi3 with X = Pt and Fe was investigated by electron diffraction and X-ray powder diffraction and discussed in conjunction with the results of magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, specific heat electrical resistivity measurements. U2PtSi 3 crystallizes in the simple AlB2-type structure, where Pt and Si atoms are located at B sites disorderly and shows spin glass behavior at low temperature. Contrarily, the electron diffraction pattern for U 2FeSi3 reveals a superstructure doubling the lattice parameter as that observed for U2RuSi3, suggesting absence of the random structure. In this structurally ordered compound U 2FeSi3, no spin glass behavior is detected.
