Countercomments to Roy's comments on ‘Note on the magnetism of UCu₂Ge₂’

Abstract

Consideration of the comments of Roy (1995) on the magnetism of UCu₂Ge₂ leads the present authors to the same conclusions presented in a previous paper (Kuznietz, Pinto and Melamud, 1993, Phil. Mag. B, 68, 195). The possibility of low-temperature coexistence of the AF-IA (+ + − −) and ferromagnetic phases in some UCu₂Ge₂ samples, but not in the sample of the present authors, is suggested.
