Abstract

The atomic structure of a new ternary phase UFe₂Al₁₀ appearing in the U-Fe-Al system was determined using direct methods applied to X-ray powder diffraction data. High resolution electron microscopy combined with the methods of crystallographic image processing was used for the verification of the structural model. The UFe₂Al₁₀ phase is orthorhombic and belongs to Cmcm space group, its unit cell contains 40 Al, eight Fe, and four U atoms. The lattice parameters obtained after Rietveld refinement are: a=8.919Å, b=10.208Å, and c=9.018Å. The reliability factors characterizing the Rietveld refinement procedure are: R _p=5.9%, R_wp=8.1%, and R_b=2.9%.
