Abstract

We report on electron spin resonance (ESR) experiments on the Heusler alloy YbRh2Pb and compare its spin dynamics with that of several other Yb-based intermetallics. A detailed analysis of the derived ESR parameters indicates the extremely weak hybridization, more localized distribution of the 4f states, and a smaller RKKY interaction in YbRh2Pb. These findings reveal the important interplay between hybridization effects, chemical substitution, and crystalline electric field interactions that determines the ground state properties of strongly correlated electron systems.
