The spin dynamics of mixed-valence YbB12 has been studied by inelastic neutron scattering on a highquality single crystal. In the Kondo-insulating regime realized at low temperature, the spectra exhibit a spin-gap structure with two sharp, dispersive, in-gap excitations at � h! � 14:5 and � 20 meV. The lower mode is shown to be associated with short-range correlations near the antiferromagnetic wave vector q0 �� 1 ; 1 ; 1 � . Its properties are in overall agreement with those expected for a ‘‘spin-exciton’’ branch in an indirect hybridization gap semiconductor.
