TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize single crystals of the Shastry-Sutherland lattice, where the planes of Yb ions lie on a triangular network and the Schottky peaks in specific heat indicate that the ground state is a well isolated doublet.

TL;DR: In this article, the results of magnetization and Hall effect measurements were combined to conclude that the ferromagnetic moments of lightly doped samples display no systematic variation with electron doping level.

TL;DR: In this paper, electrical resistivity and Hall effect measurements on single crystals of HfNiSn, TiPtSn, and TiNiSn were performed, and the magnetoresistance was shown to be sublinear or linear in fields ranging from 0.3em to 0.1m.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that magnetic ordering in the vicinity of a quantum critical point is restricted to short length scales even though all moments that are present have lined up with their neighbors, and that quantum fluctuations disorder the system and dilute the magnetic moments to such an extent that a percolation network forms.

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis and basic properties of a new binary compound, Yb 3 Pt 4, were reported, and heat capacity measurements showed that the crystal field scheme involves a doublet ground state, well separated from the excited states, which are fully occupied above ∼ 150 K.
