✦ Synopsis
Investigations
of magnetic and related electronic properties of UTX compounds have revealed a variety of magnetic phenomena ranging from weak paramagnetism to various types of magnetic ordering.
The observed systematics of ground-state properties is discussed with respect to the development of the electronic structure related to the expected variations of the Sf-ligand hybridization. The huge magnetic anisotropy observed in all studied materials is tentatively attributed mainly to the hybridization-mediated anisotropic two-ion interaction.
