Abstract
Dickins, Douglas and Taylor1 have recently pointed out that the tetragonal structure for (β-uranium, proposed by Tucker2 on the basis of the room-temperature X-ray examination of a quenched uranium–chromium alloy containing 1.4 atomic percent chromium, is essentially the same as that of the σ-phase, which is of such great technical importance. Kasper, Decker and Belanger3 have obtained similar results.
