Abstract
The role of crystal chemistry in YbCu5−xAux crystallizing in the FCC AuBe5-type structure is highlighted through the study of the 0.7 ⩾ x ⩾ 0.4 region. Magnetic frustration, due to the magnetic Yb-ions forming a network of edge-sharing tetrahedra, seems to play an important role in the evolution of the ground state of the system. Significant differences are found among the YbCu5−xAux compounds compared to the cubic isotypic systems YbCu5−xAgx and YbCu5.
