Abstract: Single crystals of YbCoGaO₄ have been grown for the first time by the optical floating zone technique and characterized by X-ray diffraction at room temperature. Atomic parameters were refined in space group Rm. The structure is isomorphous with that of other materials belonging to the YbFe₂O₄ family. Magnetic measurements suggest spin glass behavior with an ordering temperature around 20  K. The electrical resistivity of the material was measured. The site symmetry of all the atoms is 3m.
