Abstract
The two crystallographic forms of YbFe6Ge6 have been studied using neutron powder diffraction, and both 57Fe and 170Yb Mössbauer spectroscopy. Only the H-type (HfFe6Ge6-type) form undergoes a spin reorientation, and 57Fe Mössbauer data taken on a single crystal mosaic confirm that the Fe moments go from parallel to the c-axis to making an angle of 69(2)° with the crystal c-axis. 170Yb Mössbauer spectra show that the Yb ions are trivalent in both forms, the Yb moments do not order above 5 K and that there is no transferred field from the Fe moments in either form.
