Summary

The interest in intermetallic compounds containing heavy metal atoms, uranium in particular, has been arisen by the unusual behaviour of their physical properties at low temperatures. Thus, in addition to the strong magnetic interaction, some of these compounds display superconductivity at low temperatures. The studies of the compounds of the UTX class (T = cobalt, nickel, iridium, platinum, ruthenium, rhodium ; X = silicon, germanium) were aimed at clarifying the effect of p-and d-electrons of the ligands upon the behaviour of f-electrons of uranium. The authors studied the heat capacity and structural properties of uranium-nickel-germanium belonging to this class of three-component intermetallic compounds.
