We investigated the evolution of magnetism in thesystem by the systematic study of high-quality single crystals. Lattice parameters of both parent compounds are very similar, resulting in almost identical nearest interatomic uranium distances close to the Hill limit. We established thephase diagram of thesystem and found a discontinuous antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic boundary at, where a local minimum in ordering temperature and maximum of the Sommerfeld coefficientoccurs in the UCoGe-URhGe-UIrGe system, signaling an increase in magnetic fluctuation. However, a quantum critical point is not realized because of the finite ordering temperature at. A magnon gap on the antiferromagnetic side abruptly suppresses magnetic fluctuations. We find a field-induced first order transition in the vicinity of the critical magnetic field along theaxis () in the entiresystem, including the ferromagnetic region.
