In the pyrochlore-structure compounds R2Ti2O7, the rare-earth (R) sublattice. forms a network of corner-sharing tetrahedra such that the magnetic interactions may be geometrically frustrated. The low-temperature magnetic properties of these compounds are fashioned both by the frustration and by the intrinsic properties of the rare earth, that is, by the degeneracy and anisotropy of the rare-earth crystal-field ground state and by the nature, size and strength of the inter-ionic magnetic coupling. For Yb2Ti2O7, we combine Yb-170 Mossbauer spectroscopy, Yb-172 perturbed angular correlation, magnetization and susceptibility measurements to establish the Yb3+ crystal-field level scheme and to show that the crystal-field ground state is a well isolated Kramers doublet having a planar anisotropy. The main contribution to the Yb3+-Yb3+ coupling is the exchange interaction which is ferromagnetic. We describe the frustration-related low temperature (<1 K) properties of Yb2Ti2O7 in a separate publication.
