Abstract
The intermetallic Er2Ni17 was measured by Er-166 Mossbauer spectroscop y. From the hyperfine field measured at T = 0.6 K we conclude that the two Er sites have almost pure \ - 15/2> and \ - 13/2>) ground states. This behaviour can be explained by a different sign of the fourth ord er crystal field terms.
