Abstract
To determine low lying crystal field (CF) excitations for the class of RNi211B2C compounds with R = Pr, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb we performed inelastic neutron scattering experiments on the magnetically diluted Rx;R’1-x;Ni211B2C alloys with R’= Y and Lu. Excitations of the low lying CF-levels (< 10 meV) have been observed and are discussed in comparison with available sets of CF-parameters.
