Abstract

UPd3 exhibits phase transitions at T-1 approximate to 7 K and T-2 approximate to 5 K. Polarised-neutron diffraction measurements showed that a structural modulation with wavevector (1/2, 0, 0) takes place below T-1. A more detailed neutron-diffraction study of this phase is reported: group-theory analysis of the results indicates that the ordered phase below T-1 is a triple-q antiferroquadrupolar structure involving Q(x2-y2), Q(xz) and Q(zz) quadrupole moments of the uranium ions.
