Crystal field parameters and crystal field linewidths in the (REY)Pd3 and (REY)Al2 alloys

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The LLW-parametersx andW of dilute rare earth impurities (RE=Pr, Nd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm;c≈0.05), in the cubic matrices YPd3 and YAl2 could be determined unequivocally in the crystal field scheme of Lea, Leask and Wolf by inelastic neutron scattering. The crystal field parameters derived fromx andW are not consistent with the point charge model. The ratio of N(E F)Jex for the (REY)Pd3 and (REY)Al2 extracted from the RE-linewidths correlates with the corresponding ratio extracted from their magnetic ordering temperatures.
