Abstract
We report resistivity measurements of the heavy fermion compound YbCu4.5 for pressures up to 23.5 GPa. Although the temperature dependence of the resistivity in general does not change compared to previous results at lower pressures, surprisingly the temperature of the Kondo resistivity maximum increases with pressure at pressures exceeding 12.5 GPa. At the highest pressure of 23.5 GPa the resistivity was measured down to 50 mK. No trace of magnetic order, i.e. any anomaly in the resistivity behaviour has been found at this highest pressure reached.
