Description

Crystal structure and magnetic properties are reported for Yb3.50Zn32.1Al1.4 prepared in single-crystalline form. It adopts the SmZn11-type of structure (SG P6/mmm) with lattice parameters a=0.90458(1), c=0.88547(1) nm. The phase composition was analyzed by XRD, chemical and electron microprobe analysis. The ytterbium atoms in this compound are in the non-magnetic 4f14 state. - Graphical abstract: Crystal structure and magnetic susceptibility of Yb3.50Zn32.1AI1.4. Highlights: → Yb3.50Zn32.1Al1.4 single crystals were synthesized by flux-growth method. → The studied material is diamagnetic. → Magnetization measurements revealed divalent state of Yb atoms in this structure. → Data from EDAX, chemical and X-ray analysis show good correlation.
