Magnetic ground-state and dynamical properties of high-pressure synthe
sized YbMn2 were characterized microscopically by Mn-55 NMR experiment
s. A Mn-55 spectrum indicates that YbMn, is paramagnetic down to 4.2 K
. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation is dominated by the Yb moment fl
uctuations below 30 K and by Mn spin fluctuations with antiferromagnet
ic correlations at higher temperatures.
