Characterization of YbNi${}_4$(P${}_{1-x}$As${}_x$)${}_2$, $x=0,0.2$ single crystals grown by Czochralski method

Abstract

We have investigated large single crystals of YbNi${}_4$P${}_2$ that were grown from a levitating melt by the Czochralski method. The new samples facilitate the determination of the absolute values of the electrical resistivity. Phase pure polycrystalline samples of the non-magnetic reference LuNi${}_4$P${}_2$ were prepared and the electrical resistivity was measured. Furthermore we have grown a single crystal of the As substituted compound YbNi${}_4$(P${}_{1-x}$As${}_x$)${}_2$, $x=0.2$ and investigated the homogenity of the As distribution.
