(abstract)

We report bulk magnetic properties of ytterbium tantalate in its monoclinic fergusonite modiﬁcation, M-YbTaO4 . The spin- 12 Yb3+ ions in this phase are arranged on a geometrically frustrated “stretched diamond” lattice. M-YbTaO4 cannot be prepared at ambient pressure and was instead prepared in a belt-type apparatus at 6 GPa and 1800 ◦C. Susceptibility and speciﬁc heat data show no long-range ordering down to 1.8 K and are consistent with a Jeff = 12 Kramers doublet which splits in an applied ﬁeld. Furthermore, under high-pressure synthesis the entire solid solution YbNbx Ta 1−x O4 (0 . x . 1) can be stabilized in the M phase, in contrast to ambient-pressure synthesis which favors the competing M. phase for Ta-rich compositions. Subsequent
annealing of the Nb-Ta mixed samples resulted in color changes, suggesting oxygen deﬁciency in some of the as-prepared high pressure samples. There was little variation in the bulk magnetic properties upon varying either the Nb/Ta ratio or the annealing conditions.
