Abstract

We report ESR study of Gd and Nd in RCo2 and RNi2 (R = Sc, Y, Zr, Lu, Ce) compounds. The variation of the Gd g shift from RCo2 to RNi2 compounds is consistent with a recent calculation of the density of states and also with the systematic behaviour demonstrated previously by us for transition metal intermetallic compounds. The Nd resonance in CeNi2 and LuNi2 indicate Γ6 ground state crystalline field splitting; the Nd g value in YNi2:Nd and LuNi2: Nd is anomallous. Several possibilities for this anomally are discussed.
