NMR measurements on 121Sb have been performed to clarify the magnetic properties of an anomalous phase transition around 5 K in YbSb. The external magnetic field dependence of the NMR linewidth was measured above and below the transition temper

The specific heat of the ytterbium monopnictides YbX (X = N, P, As, Sb) measured in magnetic fields up to 10 T shows a different field dependence of the broad peak around 5 K in the four compounds. The zero-field data are analyzed with a new model including both Kondo effect and magnetic excitations.

Scandium rare-earth metal antimonides, ScRESb (RE = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Tb) were synthesized from scandium metal and binary RESb at 1770 K in tantalum ampoules. According to X-ray analyses of the crystal structures, they adopt the tetragonal ScCeSi-type of structure (space group I4/mmm, Pearson code tI12), a variant of La2Sb, with a fully ordered atom distribution. Especially in ScSmSb and ScTbSb, the scandium atoms are distorted from an ideal 4 4 net in a way to form Sc nets of squares and rhombi in order to adjust to the lattice shrinkage in the ab plane, caused by the lanthanide contraction. Finally the structure changes from La2Sb to Sc 2Sb-type (anti-PbFCl-type), when terbium is replaced by dysprosium. The respective compound with ytterbium was only found when stoichiometric amounts of oxygen were present, resulting in Sc4Yb4Sb 4O, a La2Sb-type variant stuffed with oxygen. A structure field map, based on specific geometric parameters, easily allows for distinguishing between oxygen stuffed and oxygen-free compounds. Magnetic susceptibility measurements of ScCeSb, ScPrSb, and ScNdSb indicate Curie-Weiss behavior with ferromagnetic exchange coupling underlying. The magnetic moments correspond to the expected values for RE3+. Copyright
