Abstract | A new ternary intermetallic compound, namely, YbMn2Sb2, has been synthesized and its magnetic and electrical transport properties have been studied in the temperature range of 2-300 K. This compound crystallizes in a trigonal, La2O2S-type structure (space-group P(3)bm1, No. 164) and is found to be ferromagnetically ordered at room temperature. The magnetism is attributed to the ordering of Mn sublattice. M-5 x-ray absorption spectrum of YbMn2Sb2 obtained at room temperature suggests that the valency of Yb in this compound is close to 2+. Electrical resistivity of this compound is metal-like and a positive magnetoresistance of 13% is observed at 5 K in an applied field of 9 T. (c) 2005 American Institute of Physics. |
