Mašková, S.; Havela, L.; Kolomiets, A.; Miliyanchuk, K.; Andreev, A. V.; Nakotte, H.; Peterson, J.; Skourski, Y.; Yasin, S.; Zherlitsyn, S.; Wosnitza, J.

We present specific heat and magnetic studies as a function of temperature and magnetic field for U2(Ni1−xFex)2Sn alloys (x = 0.0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8) and their hydrides (absorption of ≈ 2 H/f.u.). For the parent alloys, antiferromagnetic order is rapidly suppressed with increasing Fe concentration and non-Fermi-liquid behavior was found for x = 0.2. Hydrogenation of the parent alloys causes a substantial increase of TN in Fe-low hydrides (x < 0.2), while Fe-rich hydrides show an unexpected appearance of ferromagnetism in the range 0.4 ≤ x ≤ 0.8. Some of the findings are compared with similar studies in U2Co2Sn and U2Co2InH1.9.
