Abstract

Most of the unusual low-T properties of Yb₄As₃, including a large specific-heat coefficient C(T)/T ≃ 200 mJ/K²mol, result from the one-dimensional S = 1/2 antiferromagnetism caused by the formation of Yb³⁺ chains below the charge-ordering transition. On the other hand, large C(T)/T values for non-charge ordered Yb₄(As_0.36Sb_0.64)₃ and (Yb_0.87Lu_0.13)₄As₃ have also been reported. In order to clarify similarities and differences in the low-T specific heat between the 64% Sb- and 13% Lu-doped systems and pure Yb₄As₃, measurements down to 0.06 K in magnetic fields up to 10 T have been performed. The experiments reveal spin-glass freezing around 0.1 and 0.4 K for Yb₄(As_0.36Sb_0.64)₃ and (Yb_0.87Lu_0.13)₄As₃, respectively, that also affects their thermodynamic properties at higher temperatures.
