Antiferro--quadrupolar structures in UPd inferred from x-ray resonant Bragg diffraction
A systematic analysis of resonant x-ray Bragg diffraction data for UPd,
with signal enhancement at the U M edge, including possible structural
phase-transitions leads to a new determination of the space groups of the
material in the phases between K and = 6.9 K as P222
and between = 6.7 K and = 4.4 K as space group P2. In
addition, the quadrupolar order-parameters, , inferred from
diffraction data in the phase between $T_{-1}$ and $T_{2}$, are and
at the (104)
reflection.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure
