Abstracts

EN

U_5Ge_4 crystallizes in a hexagonal Ti_5Ga_4 type structure with two inequivalent crystallographic sites occupied by uranium atoms. The band structure calculations were performed by the full-potential local-orbital minimum basis band structure code. The calculations showed that on both types of uranium atoms small magnetic moments are formed and their values are equal to 0.08 and 0.15 μ_{B}/atom, respectively.
