Abstract
Using the 60keV Mössbauer transition in237Np high pressure experiments have been performed up to ∼85kbar between 4.2K and 200K on NpCo2Si2, NpAl2, NpOs2 and NpAs. The delocalization of 5f-electrons with reduced volume is most pronounced in NpOs2 and NpAl2, whereas NpCo2Si2 can be considered as a highly localized magnet. In NpAs 5f-hybridization with electrons of As is dominant. At pressures above ∼25kbar a new magnetic phase is formed.
