It is well known that the relaxation processes in GdTX family; T – transition metal; depend very strongly on the contribution of the d states at the Fermi energy. However, when we fixed the d-metal it occurs that also different share of s and p electrons in valence band results in different bottleneck parameters observed in these compounds. In case of GdPdX compounds the bottleneck effect could even exceed that one, observed in GdAl₂ compound .
