Uranium aluminides

Pearson (1984) noticed that the ThMni2 structure contains two interpenetrating kagome nets of Mn atoms that lie in the (100) and (010) planes. The nets are not planar since atoms located in the 8(i) and 8(j) positions have x-parameters of 0.275-0.284 (see table 2 for the uranium aluminides and the RFeioV2 compounds) instead of 0.250 for the ideal planar case. 

Paramount information on structure and phase equilibria of the ThMni2 type compounds was collected by Gladyshevsky et al. (1990), while the structure and magnetic properties have been reviewed several times for rare-earth aluminides (Nowik and Felner 1983), rare-earth and actinide aluminides (Suski 1985), actinide aluminides (Sechovsky and Havela 1988), intermetallics with higher content of the iron-group metals for the rare eardis (Buschow 1991, H.-S. Li and Coey 1991), and uranium (Suski 1992).
