Notes:
By means of neutron powder diffraction, we find that UCoGa crystallizes in the hexagonal ZrNiAl structure and orders ferromagnetically at low temperatures with magnetic moments stacked along the c axis. The magnetic-ordering temperature is reflected in anomalies in the temperature dependencies of the electrical resistivity and the specific heat at TC =47 K. Furthermore, the strong anisotropy in the electrical resistivity for i(parallel)c and i⊥c indicates a significant contribution of the magnetic anisotropy to the electrical resistivity.
