Abstract
The results of measuring the static and dynamic magnetic susceptibilities of several series of samples, which are based on the YbB12 Kondo insulator and are substituted in the rare-earth sublattice, are analyzed. Substitution is performed by nonmagnetic isoelectronic Lu ions; magnetic isoelectronic Tm ions; and nonisoelectronic nonmagnetic Y, Sc, and Zr ions. The static susceptibility is measured by a SQUID magnetometer in weak fields, and the dynamic susceptibility is determined from inelastic neutron scattering data. The magnetic properties are simulated using the spectral function found from neutron experimental data. A one-to-one correspondence is established between the influence of an impurity on the initial neutron spectrum and the temperature dependence of the static susceptibility. The results obtained allow one to analyze the relation between the magnetic properties and the electronic structure of the compounds of the given class.
