Abstract
Microcontact spectra of Gd, Tb, and Ho in the ferromagnetic phase are studied. It is shown that the microcontact spectra are mostly proportional to the energy dependence of the magnon density of states, but for Tb and Ho phonon features are also observed. The anomalous microcontact spectra of Gd are studied; it is proposed that they relate to the quasiamorphous state of Gd. The thermal magnetic anomaly in microcontact spectra of Gd, Tb, Ho, and Dy is investigated.
