It was recently discovered that the strongly correlated electron compound YbNi4P2 is one of the few heavy-fermion systems exhibiting a ferromagnetic phase transition at very low temperature (TC=0.17 K) because of strong Kondo screening. It is thus a very promising candidate to study a Kondo system close to ferromagnetic quantum criticality. While nickel is nonmagnetic in YbNi4P2, the ytterbium moments are located on chains along the c-direction of the tetragonal unit cell so that the magnetic interaction is mainly one-dimensional. Together with geometrical frustration in the ab-plane , YbNi4P2 is therefore prone to enhanced quantum fluctuations.

Here, we present time-of-flight neutron spectroscopy measurements on polycrystalline YbNi4P2 to study the magnetic excitations. This gives insight into the particular magnetic interactions, such as the crystalline electric field and the Kondo fluctuations.
