Kondo Lattice Behavior in the Ordered Dilute Magnetic Semiconductor Yb14-xLaxMnSb11

Journal Article · · Physical Review B

We report Hall, magnetic, heat capacity, and doping studies from single crystals of Yb{sub 14}MnSb{sub 11} and Yb{sub 13.3}La{sub 0.7}MnSb{sub 11}. These heavily doped semiconducting compounds are ferromagnetic below 53 and 39 K, respectively. The renormalization of the carrier mass from 2m{sub 3} near room temperature to 20m{sub e} at 5 K, plus the magnetic evidence for partial screening of the Mn magnetic moments suggest that these compounds represent rare examples of an underscreened Kondo lattice with T{sub K} {approx} 285 K.
