Notes:
The electronic structures of U2Fe2Sn and UFe2Ge2 are self-consistently calculated within the local density functional theory using the augmented spherical wave (ASW) method. Calculations are scalar relativistic. The experimentally observed Pauli paramagnetic behavior of the two systems is accounted for and the influence of hybridization between the different l-states on the chemical bonding is discussed from the site-projected densities of sates (DOS) as well as from the modulation of the DOS by the sign and magnitude of the overlap integral, i.e., with the so-called COOP. From this, we propose a mechanism for the evolution of bonding within the series to which the two compounds belong. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
