Abstract

57Fe and 237Np Mössbauer Ōmeasurements have been performed for NpFeGa5, which is one of the so-called neptunium 1-1-5 compounds. The 57Fe Mössbauer spectra below T N = 118 K show the magnetically ordered state. The magnitude of the hyperfine magnetic field at the 57Fe nucleus is determined to be 1.98 ± 0.05 T at 10 K. From the 237Np Mössbauer spectrum at 10 K, the hyperfine magnetic field at the 237Np nucleus is 203 T and the hyperfine coupling constant is determined to be 237 T/μB using the Np atomic magnetic moment of 0.86 μB determined by the neutron diffraction study.
