Popis: L III X-ray absorption (77 and 300 K) and magnetic susceptibility measurements have been performed on RM 4 Al 8 compounds. The mixed valence state of Ce was observed in CeM 4 Al 8 with M = Cr, Mn, Fe. In the case of M = Cu the Ce 3+ state is stabilized, but the Yb-based compound shows intermediate valence ( V Yb ≈ 2.5). In other Yb-based compounds, the Yb ion is mainly in the trivalent state. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of RFe 4 Al 8 compounds fits the Curie-Weiss law over a wide temperature range.
