Abstract
Mossbauer spectroscopy is used to monitor the Tm-169 quadrupole intera ction for the superconductor TmBa2Cu4O8 as a function of temperature. Qualitative comparison with other Tm-169 results supports earlier clai ms that the Tm3+ rank-2 crystal-field contribution lies between that f or TmBa2Cu3O7 and that for TmBa2Cu3O6. However, there is quantitative disagreement with crystal-field parameters determined elsewhere for Ho Ba2Cu4O8.
