The phenomenon of a temperature-induced itinerant metamagnetism in ErCo 3 (at 65 K) was investigated with respect to small substitutions of Fe and Ni for Co. Five percent of Fe or Ni substitutions change the transition temperature to 170 or 25 K, respectively. The transition is accompanied by a larg

✦ Synopsis
We have studied magnetic, electrical and specific heat behaviour of (U,_,Y,)NiAl, U(Ni,_,CoI)A1 and U(Ni,_,Fe,)AI pseudoternary compounds derived from the itinerant antiferromagnet UNiAI. Y, Co or Fe substitutions in UNiAl lead to a rapid disappearance of long range magnetic order, however, the strong magnetic uniaxial anisotropy (characteristic for UNiAl) persisls. Anomalies in the specific heat and the enhancement of y values indicate pronounced spin-fluctuation effects.
