Molecular Field at the Rare-Earth Sites in Nd sub 2 Co sub 17

Neutron-scattering measurements on a single crystal of Nd sub 2 Co sub 17 have been performed at 4.2K. The non-dispersive mode has been interpreted as resulting from an excitation of the spatially localized rare-earth ions. In combination with the crystal-field parameters derived previously from hig...

Description
Summary:Neutron-scattering measurements on a single crystal of Nd sub 2 Co sub 17 have been performed at 4.2K. The non-dispersive mode has been interpreted as resulting from an excitation of the spatially localized rare-earth ions. In combination with the crystal-field parameters derived previously from high-field magnetization measurements the non-dispersive mode yields a fairly accurate value for the molecular field at the position of the Nd ions.
