Abstract

The data on the electronic and magnetic properties of the ternary ytterbium-based alloy YbPd $_{2}$ Ge $_{1.7}$ are presented and compared with those for YbPd $_{2}$ Ge $_{2}$ and YbPd $_{2}$ Ge compounds. YbPd $_{2}$ Ge $_{1.7}$ demonstrates a moderate heavy-fermion behavior with linear specific heat coefficient $γ ≃$ 100 mJ/mol K $^{2}$ . Magnetic susceptibility is large and demonstrates nearly Curie behavior. Resistivity shows a power-law $T^{1.2}$ -dependence at not too low temperatures $T$ . Thermoelectric power has non-monotonous behavior and changes its sign at low $T$ .
