Аннотация:The quadrupole interaction at 111Cd impurity nuclei in the intermediate-valence compound YbAl2 has been measured under pressure up to 80 kbar by the time-differential perturbed angular correlation spectroscopy. It was found that the quadrupole frequency Q measured on the 111Cd nuclei located at the Al sites in YbAl2 varies nonlinearly and increases by almost four times with the pressure increase up to 80 kbar. A linear correlation between the mean Yb valence, derived from Yb L3 OFY-XAS and RXES measurements, and the electric field gradient the quadrupole frequency Q=eQVzz /h has been observed. The quadrupole frequencies
on 111Cd in the GdAl2, YbAl3, TmAl3, and CaAl2 compounds have been also measured. The possibility of determining the valence of Yb in the Yb compounds with p metals from the relation vQ(v(P))=v2+(v3−v2)v(P) has been considered.
