Molecular field at the rare-earth sites in Nd 2Co 17

Neutron-scattering measurements on a single crystal of Nd 2Co 17 have been performed at 4.2 K. 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...

Summary:Neutron-scattering measurements on a single crystal of Nd 2Co 17 have been performed at 4.2 K. 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.
