Abstract The time differential perturbed angular correlation technique has been used to study the combined magnetic and electric hyperfine interactions at the site of a111Cd impurity in the rare earth ferromagnets Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, and Tm at 4.2 °K. The following magnetic hyperfine fields at the site of111Cd have been found: ¦H hf ¦=340(7) kG in Gd, 275 (5) kG in Tb, 221 (4) kG in Dy, 116 (3) kG in Er and 60 (6) kG in Tm. In Ho two magnetically different sites were observed with magnetic fields of 159 (3) and 139 (3) kG. Both sites are equally populated. The coupling constantJ 5f of the conduction electron-4f interaction has been calculated for the different rare earth metals from the measured hyperfine fields by means of the RKKY theory.
