Abstract

To investigate about the effective mass of the carriers at the Fermi level, we carried out cyclotron resonance experiments in single crystals of the intermediate valent systems Yb₄(As_0.6P_0.4)₃ and Yb₄(As_0.71Sb_0.29)₃ at several frequencies above 95 GHz. In the former material, a strong double cyclotron resonance absorption indicates cyclotron masses of 0.60 and 0.87m_e, while in the latter material no cyclotron absorption was observed up to 18 T. This excludes the possibility of Yb₄(As_0.6P_0.4)₃ to be a heavy fermion and indicates a lower limit of 5.3m_e for the cyclotron mass in Yb₄(As_0.71Sb_0.29)₃.
