Abstract
Magnetization measurements, parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field have been performed on crystals of TbxGd1-xAl2. We determine the crystal field parameters by fitting the field and temperature dependences of the magnetization angle with [001]. The B4 and B6 CEF parameters are almost x independent, and B4 ? 5 x 10-4 K/ion for TbAl2.
