The uranium-based ternary compound UNiSn undergoes a semiconductor-metal transition and an antiferromagnetic transition simultaneously at 43K.In addition, we have obtained a preliminary cvidence that the complex transition is accompanied by lattice deformation. In the present study, we investigated how these three instabilities affect each other. Our works are summarized as follows.(1) An X-ray diffractometer was modified so that crystal structures are analyzed in magnetic field upto 8 tesla at low temperatures down to 3.5K.(2) We measured specific heat, Mossbauer spectra, magnetic susceptibility, X-ray diffraction and elastic moduli of UNiSn around 43K.(3) We found that applied magnetic field separates structural transition from antiferromagnetic transition.(4) Partial substitution of Th for U separates the system into two phases with different Th concentration. The antiferromagnetic transition temperature decreases in both phases with increasing The concentration.(5) The quadrupole ordering is responsible for the lattice deformation from a high-temperature cubic structure to a low-temperature orthorhombic one. This suggests the nature of the doublet ground state of f electrons in the uranium-based compounds.The experiments were extended to other ternary compounds which contain uranium or cerium.

基于铀的三元化合物UNISN经历了半导体 - 金属转变和同时43K的抗铁磁过渡。此外，我们获得了一个初步的cvidence，即复杂的转变伴随着lattice的变形。在本研究中，我们研究了这三个不稳定性如何相互影响。 （1）对X射线衍射仪进行了总结。（1）对X射线衍射仪进行了修改，以便在低温下至3.5k的磁场中分析晶体结构，直至8 Tesla。（2）我们测量了特定的热量，Mossbauer Spectra，Mossbauer Spectra，Mossbauer Spectibil，磁敏感性，X射线衍射和弹性磁场，构建了43K周围的UNISN. 3）。 （4）对U的部分取代U将系统分为两个浓度不同的阶段。随着浓度的增加，抗铁磁过渡温度在两个阶段均降低。（5）四极级订购是导致晶格变形从高温立方结构到低温正交原形的晶格变形。这表明在基于铀的化合物中F电子的双重基态的性质。实验扩展到其他含有铀或葡萄干的三元化合物。
