Resumen
Structural, magnetic, transport, and thermal properties of YbCu5-xAux alloys with Au concentration between x=0.4 (at the stability limit of AuBe5-type structure) and x=0.7 are reported. The outstanding features of this system are (i) the constant and record high value of Cm/T≈6.7 J/mol K2 below a characteristic temperature T∗ (ranging between 150 mK and 350 mK), (ii) a power law of temperature dependence Cm/T(T>T∗)=g/Tq, with q ranging between 1.3 and 0.95 for decreasing x from 0.7 to 0.5, and (iii) an observation of incoherent electronic scattering in the resistivity at T<1 K for x≤0.6 despite the fact that Yb magnetic atoms are placed in an ordered lattice. Geometric frustration, originating from the tetrahedral distribution of Yb atoms, appears to be responsible for the lack of magnetic order and the exotic behavior of this system.
