Abstract

Magnetic susceptibility studies of the sharp Yb2+→Yb3+ valence phase transition in YbxRyIn1-x-yCu2, cubic Laves phase systems, are reported. Whenever the substitute ion R is larger than Yb or In, R = Sn, La, Eu, the valence transition temperature, Tv, increases. Smaller ions, R = Y, Lu, Ga, decrease Tv. This is consistent with the expectation for strong correlation between valence and available volume.
