Crystal Chemistry and Physics of UCd<sub>11</sub>
In the phase diagram U-Cd, only one compound has been
identified
so farUCd11 (space group Pm3Ì…m). Since the discovery of this material, the physical properties
of UCd11 have attracted a considerable amount of attention.
In particular, its complex magnetic phase diagramas a result
of tuning with magnetic field or pressureis not well-understood.
From a chemical perspective, a range of lattice parameter values have
been reported, suggesting a possibility of a considerable homogeneity
range, i.e., UCd11–x. In this work,
we perform a simultaneous study of crystallographic features coupled
with measurements of physical properties. This work sheds light on
the delicate relationship between the intrinsic crystal chemistry
and magnetic properties of UCd11
