The structural change of an YbInCu 4 single crystal has been investigated associated with the first-order valence-transition at T V= 42 K using synchrotron radiation diffraction. The Yb–Cu and In–Cu interatomic distances abruptly increase below T V, following the lattice expansion with no change in the C15b-type crystal structure. We find that the distance between Cu ions forming the Cu 4 cluster in the crystal is almost unchanged across the valence transition. No abrupt change in the thermal rotational motion of the Cu 4 cluster is observed at T V.
