Description

Highlights: → Discovery of a novel Yb-based compound Yb3Pt23Si11. → Refinement of the crystal structure of Yb3Pt23Si11. → Determination of the magnetic behavior in Yb3Pt23Si11. - Abstract: The crystal structure of the novel compound Yb3Pt23Si11 has been determined from powder X-ray diffraction data to be isotypic with cubic Ce3Pt23Si11 (space group Fm3-bar m; a = 1.68052(5) nm). Magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistivity and heat capacity measurements, performed down to 0.4 K, revealed that Yb3Pt23Si11 is a moderately enhanced paramagnetic compound with fairly unstable 4f electronic shell.
