Abstract Neutron diffraction experiments are reported on UCu4+xAl8−x for concentrations 0.1≤ x ≤1.9 and temperatures 1.6 K≤T≤300 K. For x ≤ 1 these compounds undergo antiferromagnetic phase transitions into a collinear AF I-type structure. with the magnetic moments aligned along the tetragonal c-axis and alternating order within the a−b planes. With increasing concentration the ordering temperatures decrease and moment compensation due to a Kondo-type interaction develops for x>1.
