Crystal field excitations in NdPd5Al2
Antiferromagnetic Nd5PdAl2 belongs to a family of tetragonal RPd5Al2 compounds (R is rare earth element or actinide) which are structurally related to RTX5 and R2TX8 (T is a transition metal, X is a p-metal) compounds. Several compounds from this broad family, based on Ce, Pu or Np, are considered as archetypal heavy-fermion superconductors. To investigate the role of the crystal field effects in the rich physical properties of these materials, we propose to study the crystal field excitations in NdPd5Al2. Based on the analysis of inelastic neutron scattering, magnetization measurements on single crystal and heat capacity data, we aim to determine the crystal field parameters in NdPd5Al2, which can be then compared to CePd5Al2 and compounds from the RTX5 series as well as to ab-initio calculations.
