Abstract

Single crystals of Yb_14-xRE_xMnSb₁₁ (x~0.1, 0.4; RE = Tb, Dy, Ho) have been prepared as a solid solution by Sn flux reactions of the elements. They crystallize in the Ca₁₄AlSb₁₁ structure type in the I4₁/acd space group. The RE³⁺preferentially substitutes on the Yb(1) site which is the smallest volume Yb containing polyhedron. In the case of Ho³⁺, a small amount of Ho³⁺ also substitutes on the Yb(4) site. The ferromagnetic ordering temperature of Yb₁₄MnSb₁₁ is reduced from 53 K to 41 K as x increases and dependent on the identity of the RE. This is attributed to the reduction in carriers and reduced screening of the Mn²⁺ local moment. The effective moments, μ_eff, agree well with the calculated moments assuming the RE substitutes as a trivalent cation. The largest coercive field is observed for RE = Dy (1000 Oe). For the maximum x of Yb_14-xRE_xMnSb₁₁ there are enough carriers for the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) mechanism of magnetic coupling via conduction electrons to still be valid in describing the ferromagnetic ordering.
