Parameters include: magnetic ordering temperature, Tm; measurement temperature for the Mössbauer spectrum, TMB; magnetic hyperfine field, Bhf; and magnetic moment at the 170Yb nuclei, μ. Note that Yb3Cu4Ge4 shows two sub-spectra with different hyperfine fields. Standard deviations are given in parentheses, when available.
