摘要
27Al NMR shifts and spin-lattice relaxation times have been measured in the intermediate-valent compound YbCuAl over the temperature range 4.2 K to 295 K. Above Tmax?25 K, the temperature for which the bulk susceptibility χ exhibits a maximum, a linear relation was observed between K and χ: K=7.5(5) ×10-4-0.19(1) χ (emu/mole). For T<Tmax this relation was no longer obeyed; at 4.2 K the shift was about 20% more positive than predicted from the linear relation and the measured χ. Satellite NMR in the Kondo alloy CuFe exhibits no such nonlinearity. It is tentatively attributed to a temperature-dependent effect of intermediate valence on the transferred hyperfine coupling between Yb moments and 27Al nuclei. Relaxation data yield a 4f spin fluctuation rate which decreases by about a factor of 2 between Tmax and 100 K. A simple ionic model for the intermediate-valent state accounts qualitatively for this observation. Further corroborating experiments are suggested.
