The neutron diffraction is an indispensable technique for the determination of magnetic structures. Due to a rather large penetration depth of neutrons in many materials one can construct complicated sample environments necessary to prepare the desired magnetic phase of the material under study. Combination of magnetic fields, low temperatures, and high hydrostatic or uniaxial pressures are possible. Capabilities of this technique are demonstrated on a few experimental results obtained on uranium UTX (T: transition metal, X: p-element) compounds.
