Abstract
It is argued that, in disagreement with the conclusions of Kuznietz, Pinto and Melamud (1993, Phil. Mag. B, 68, 195), a ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic transition found in recent neutron scattering studies of a well-annealed sample of UCu2Ge2 is real, in agreement with the indications of the electrical and magnetic data quoted in Roy and Coles (1991, Phil. Mag. B, 64, 741) on which the above paper was commenting, and with the results of other workers. It is argued that this behaviour is unlikely to be due to non-stoichiometry of the samples.
