Ternary orthorhombic aluminides of RT₂Al₁₀ type (R:Ce, Yb, T: Fe, Ru, Os) are currently attracting much interest because of a number of exotic properties such as anomalously high magnetic ordering temperatures in CeRu₂Al₁₀ [1] and CeOs₂Al₁₀, and strongly hybridized Kondo insulating state in CeFe₂Al₁₀. The Fe-Al systems are of special interest because YFe₂Al₁₀ is claimed being located close to a Fe-based ferromagnetic instability at very low temperature [2]. Here pronounced non Fermi liquid (NFL) phenomena are observed. For YbRh₂Si₂ this NFL behaviour is associated to strong ferromagnetic fluctuations (see ²⁹Si NMR in [3]). Our spin relaxation study on YFe₂Al₁₀ gives strong evidence for Fe based ferromagnetic fluctuations evolving towards low temperature in small fields. YbFe₂Al₁₀ is a weak Kondo coupled heavy fermion system where no traces of Fe-magnetism could be found [2].
