Abstract
Time-of-flight inelastic neutron-scattering measurements have been car ried out on polycrystalline samples of (Sm3Te4)-Sm-154 and La3Te4 with incoming neutron energies of 67 and 300 meV. The results are, in gene ral, consistent with the assumption that both Sm valence states, Sm2and Sm3+, contribute to the magnetic scattering function as well-defin ed local-moment states subjected to the crystal field from the surroun dings.
