Abstract

We report synthesis and properties of the ternary Yb compound YbZn₂Sb₂. The resistivity, magnetization and specific heat at low temperature and high magnetic field of YbZn₂Sb₂ are typical of a strongly diamagnetic semimetal. A comparison with isostructural YbZn₂As₂ suggests that YbZn₂Sb₂ will undergo a nonmagnetic to magnetic quantum phase transition at high pressure that is driven by a valence transition.
