Abstract
Magnetic susceptibility measurements of non-stoichiometric ytterbium t rihydrides have been performed. A transition to the antiferromagnetic state at temperatures just below 4.2 K has been found. The effective m agnetic moment calculated per ytterbium ion increases with hydrogen co ntent from 3.18 mu(B) for H/Yb=2.30 to 3.97 mu(B) for H/Yb=2.62, respe ctively. These changes are connected with the increase of the amount o f trivalent ytterbium ions with hydrogen increasing concentration. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
