摘要:

Yb $_2$ Si $_2$ Al可能是探索Shastry-Sutherland晶格的不同方面的原型,Shastry-Sutherland晶格由正交耦合Yb离子的平面形成。的磁化率的测量发现非相干波动Yb $^{3+}$时刻共存的弱相关的金属状态,这是由电阻率的测量证实。随着温度的降低,近藤相干性的迹象越来越多,包括索末菲系数和门垣-伍兹比的增强,这表明在最低温度下发现的金属态是费米液体,其中相关性变得显着更强。电子比热和磁比热的显著峰值表明Yb磁矩与传导电子的耦合导致约30 K的有效近藤温度。用电子能谱方法研究了Yb $_2$ Si $_2$ Al的价态。发现Yb $_2$ Si $_2$ Al是强中间价($v_F=2.68(2)$ at 80 K)。总之,这些实验数据是一致的情况下,在Yb $_2$ Si $_2$ Al的相干Kondo晶格的形式从一个非相干起伏的Yb矩不完全的Kondo补偿的系综,和强中间价字符。

英文摘要:

Yb$_2$Si$_2$Al may be a prototype for exploring different aspects of the Shastry-Sutherland lattice, formed by planes of orthogonally coupled Yb ions. Measurements of the magnetic susceptibility find incoherently fluctuating Yb$^{3+}$ moments coexisting with a weakly correlated metallic state that is confirmed by measurements of the electrical resistivity. Increasing signs of Kondo coherence are found with decreasing temperature, including an enhanced Sommerfeld coefficient and Kadowaki-Woods ratio that signal that the metallic state found at the lowest temperatures is a Fermi liquid where correlations have become significantly stronger. A pronounced peak in the electronic and magnetic specific heat indicates that the coupling of the Yb moments to the conduction electrons leads to an effective Kondo temperature that is approximately 30 K. The valence of Yb$_2$Si$_2$Al has been investigated with electron spectroscopy methods. Yb$_2$Si$_2$Al is found to be strongly intermediate valent ($v_F=2.68(2)$ at 80 K). Taken together, these experimental data are consistent with a scenario where a coherent Kondo lattice forms in Yb$_2$Si$_2$Al from an incoherently fluctuating ensemble of Yb moments with incomplete Kondo compensation, and strong intermediate valence character.
