 Abstract: The semimetallic quasi-one-dimensional S = 1/2 antiferromagnet Yb4As3 has been studied by performing low-temperature (T) and high magnetic-field (B) measurements of the specific heat, C(T, B), magnetization, M(T, B), AC-susceptibility, chi(AC)(T, B), and electrical resistivity, p(T, B). At finite transverse magnetic fields, a gap Delta(B) is induced in the low-energy magnetic excitation spectrum. Our C(T, B) measurements reveal a Delta(B)similar toB(2/3) dependence for Bless than or equal to9T, in accordance with predictions of the quantum sine-Gordon model. At higher fields the Delta(B) curve levels-off gradually. In the isothermal magnetization taken at 0.6 K no saturation occurs up to 60 T. We also present new results on spin-glass behavior below 0.15 K caused by a weak ferromagnetic interchain coupling and disorder. Finally, we concentrate on the electrical transport properties. Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, arising from a low-density system of mobile As-4p holes, are recorded in magnetic fields up to 60T. We estimate the effective mass and the mean-free path of these carriers and discuss spin-splitting effects. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
