Abstract
The compound Gd2Fe17 and its ternary nitride Gd2Fe17Nx were investigat ed by means of inelastic neutron scattering. The values determined for the molecular field acting on the Gd3+ ions are B-mol = 285 T and B-m ol = 199 T, respectively. These values show that nitrogen up-take in G d2Fe17 leads to a marked reduction in the magnetic intersublattice cou pling strength.
