Abstract
The crystal electric field (CEF) scheme ofYbNi(4)P(2) is determined, based on experimental data from inelastic neutron scattering, heat capacity, susceptibility and NMR measurements. Despite the tetragonal crystal structure, 9 parameters are needed to describe the crystal field in YbNi4P2 due to the orthorhombic site symmetry of the Yb ion. A large basal plane anisotropy is detected by the local probe NMR. Our analysis yields CEF excitation energies of 8.5, 12.5 and roughly 30 meV and a ground state wave function that is dominated by the 5/2 state. Furthermore, we present an analysis of the CEF scheme based on density functional theory calculations, which confirms the large basal plane anisotropy.
