Abstract
Crystal structure and magnetic properties are reported for Yb 3.50Zn 32.1Al 1.4 prepared in single-crystalline form. It adopts the SmZn 11-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 4 f 14 state.
