Description

The LLW-parameters x and W of dilute rare earth impurities (RE = Pr, Nd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm; c approx. equal to 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 from x and W are not consistent with the point charge model. The ratio of N(Esub(F))Jsub(ex) for the (REY)Al2 extracted from the RE-linewidths correlates with the corresponding ratio extracted from their magnetic ordering temperatures. (orig.)
