Radioactive 111In was introduced into the Laves phases YMn2, GdFe2 and YbFe2 synthesized under pressure of 8 GPa, and the hyperfine interaction of the daughter 111Cd was measured by the perturbed angular correlation method. In the obtained hexagonal (C14) phase YMn2 111In is substituted for Mn, predominantly at h‐sites, experiencing there an electric quadrupole interaction with νQ = 32.0(5) MHz and η = 0.51(5) at 300 K. In GdFe2 and YbFe2 (cubic C15) most of the 111In–111Cd probes (≈︂80%) substituted mainly for the rare earth atoms and experienced a magnetic hyperfine field |Bhf| = 2.92(4) T and 3.32(7) T, respectively, at 300 K. The results are discussed together with the published data for the normal cubic YMn2, and for LuFe2 and ZrFe2.
