Abstract
Using Mössbauer spectroscopy on 170Yb, we detected two low temperature phase transitions in the heavy electron pnictide YbSb. Below TN = 0.32 K antiferromagnetic ordering of Yb3+ develops, and between 0.32 K and 5 K a phase exists whose nature is yet undetermined. Magneto-transport measurements confirm the heavy electron properties and the 5 K phase transition.
