Abstract

An electron spin resonance (ESR) study of the heavy fermion compound YbRh2Si2 for fields up to 8T reveals a strongly anisotropic signal in the Kondo state below 25K. A similarity between the T dependence of the ESR parameters and that of the specific heat and the Si29 nuclear magnetic resonance data gives evidence that the ESR response is given by heavy fermions. Tuning the Kondo effect on the 4f states with magnetic fields 28T and temperature 2–25 K yields a gradual change of the ESR g factor and linewidth which reflects the evolution of the Kondo state in this Kondo lattice system.
