accepted October 23, 2009; published December 10, 2009) We measured the high-field magnetization and deHaas–vanAlphen (dHvA) oscillations for YbIr2Zn20 with a cubic crystal structure, together with the electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility. The magnetic susceptibility with an effective magnetic moment of Yb3þ becomes temperature-independent at low temperatures, with a broad peak at T max ¼ 7: 4 K for H k h110i. The corresponding magnetization indicates a metamagnetic transition at Hm ¼ 120 kOe, consistent with a T max vs Hm relation in the Ce-and U-based heavy fermion compounds. The large cyclotron masses of 4–27 m0 are detected in the dHvA experiment, and are found to be reduced at magnetic fields higher than Hm ¼ 120kOe. The resistivity follows the Fermi liquid relation ¼ 0 þ AT2 under magnetic field, and the ffiffiffi A p value is also found to have a maximum at Hm as a function of magnetic field. From the present experimental results, together with the results of 4f-itinerant energy band calculations, the 4f electrons are found to contribute to the heavy fermion state in YbIr2Zn20.
