Abstract

Polarized X-ray absorption fine-structure (XAFS) data are reported for Rh and Ge K edges on antiferromagnetic and spin-glass samples of URh 2Ge2. Proposed crystal structures have two possible kinds of layers for the Rh and Ge atoms. The XAFS data indicate that each species forms both kinds of layers and therefore the dominant phase has a crystal structure like that of CaBe2Ge2.
