Neutron inelastic scattering experiments have been performed to measure the crystal-field splitting of the 5 I 8 ground state multiplet corresponding to the Ho 3+ ion in Ho c Y 1-c Ag compounds. The resulting crystal-field parameters turn out to be independent of the rare earth concentration. Additional information has been obtained on the strength of the molecular field. The parameters derived from the neutron experiments give an excellent description of the magnetic properties of HoAg.
