This volume covers binary alloys and intermetallic compounds of uranium with transition metals of the Cu, Zn, Sc (including the lanthanides), and Ti groups as well as ternary alloys containing another transition metal as a third component. The compounds UCu5, UAu2, U14Au51, U2Zn17, UZn12, and UCd11 have been shown to be heavy-fermion materials exhibiting unusual behavior as far as the heat capacity and the magnetic and electrical properties at low temperatures are concerned. The alloys of uranium with titanium and zirconium and related ternary alloys are of technological interest. Thus emphasis in this volume is placed on recent scientific as well as technological work.
