Abstract
Neutron-scattering measurements on a single crystal of Nd2Co17 have be en performed at 4.2 K. The non-dispersive mode has been interpreted as resulting from an excitation of the spatially localized rare-earth io ns. In combination with the crystal-field parameters derived previousl y from high-field magnetization measurements the non-dispersive mode y ields a fairly accurate value for the molecular field at the position of the Nd ions.
