U5Ge4 crystallizes in a hexagonal Ti5Ga4 type structure with two inequivalent crystallographic sites occupied by uranium atoms. The band structure calculations were performed by the full-potential local-orbital minimum basis band structure code. The calculations showed that on both types of uranium atoms small magnetic moments are formed and their values are equal to 0.08 and 0.15 μB/atom, respectively.
