β¦ Synopsis
We have performed time-of-flight neutron scattering measurements on a single crystal of the intermediate valence compound CePd 3 . At 10 K, a Kondo-esque inelastic magnetic scattering peak occurs near DE ΒΌ 60 meV with maximum intensity for momentum transfer Q near the Γ° 1 2 ; 1 2 ; 0Γ zone boundary. Spectral weight is transferred to lower energy as Q varies until at zone center the intensity at 60 meV is considerably weaker. These results are in qualitative accord with predictions of the Anderson lattice. The Q-dependence may resolve an older controversy concerning the low-temperature scattering. We discuss the relationship of these results to our recent results in YbAl 3 .

We summarize our recent inelastic neutron scattering results on NaV 2 O 5 . They provided the first experimental evidences for deviations from a simple One-dimensional (1D) spin-Peierls scenario in explaining the formation of the low-temperature singlet ground state in this compound.

Two recent experiments on the HET spectrometer of the UK spallation neutron source ISIS are described, as examples of the potential of high energy magnetic neutron scattering. The measurements of intermultiplet transitions with energies up to 810 meV in praseodymium metal give direct evidence of the
