Abstract Inelastic neutron scattering experiments are performed in polycrystalline NdAl 3 to determine the crystalline electric field parameters for the Nd 3+ ion in its hexagonal environment. The parameters obtained are checked with the results of other measurements related to the crystalline electric field, such as magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity, and electric resistivity.
