Abstract
Mossbauer of 151Eu and magnetic susceptibility measurements of EuPd6B4 at 4.1-600 K show that the Eu ion is in mixed valent state. All experimental results are reproduced in terms of an almost temperature independent in interconfiguration excitation energy (Eu2+ above Eu3+) of 500± 50 K, with an inhomogenous width of 120 ± 30 K.
