Abstract

Large crystals of Yb₁₄MgSb₁₁ were grown through a Sn flux method. Magnetic susceptibility measurements yield an effective magnetic moment of 3.4(1) μ_B, revealing the presence of both divalent and trivalent Yb in Yb₁₄MgSb₁₁. Previously assumed to only contain Yb²⁺ as in Yb₁₄MnSb₁₁, the mixed valency demonstrates that Yb₁₄MgSb₁₁ is a Zintl phase.
