Established first H-T phase diagram of USb2.
Magnetostriction and magnetization phase boundaries agree.
High-field, low-temperature magnetic state still unclear (ie. PM or canted-AFM) due to field limitation.
Quantum oscillations to see Fermi surface above Hc?
Experiment on UBi2 to see possible Fermi surface effects.
Conclusions and Future Work
