The heavy-fermion compound YbNi4P2 exhibits ferromagnetic order below the very low Curie temperature TC = 150 mK. Upon substituting As for P the ordering temperature TC in YbNi4(P1−xAsx)2 can be continuously suppressed with the occurrence of a quantum critical point [1]. So far bulk measurements have been used to characterize the ferromagnetic order in YbNi4P2 [2]. In contrast, neutron diffraction failed in detecting any ferromagnetic signal. In order to better characterize the magnetism in YbNi4P2, we performed inelastic neutron scattering on a large YbNi4P2 single crystal [3] at the triple-axis spectrometers IN12 (ILL, Grenoble), PANDA (MLZ, Garching) and FLEXX (HZB, Berlin). We observe clear magnetic excitations in YbNi4P2 at low temperatures with a dispersion as expected for a ferromagnet. Our findings are a direct evidence of the ferromagnetic order in YbNi4P2.
