Abstract

Results of electrical resistivity measurements at low temperatures of dilute alloys of Yb in Ag reveal weak Kondo-like resistivity minima, in apparent contradiction with the previous magnetic susceptibility measurements of AgYb by other workers who concluded that Yb was in a divalent state and essentially non-magnetic in Ag. The present results together with the weak magnetic behaviour evident in the susceptibility measurements suggest that Yb is in the ‘Intermediate Valence State’ in Ag.
