We have studied the substitution and temperature dependences of the B sp-Yb d-derived conduction-band states in Yb1-xLuxB12 (x = 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00) by high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy. As the Yb content increases, the density of states (DOS) between the Fermi level (EF) and ∼ - 20 meV is reduced while a broad peak grows at ∼-80 meV. The DOS reduction is considerably weakened at high temperatures (> ∼100 K), consistent with the gap formation in YbB12 only at low temperatures. The temperature dependence of the DOS near EF gradually becomes stronger with decreasing x but is abruptly enhanced below x = 0.25-0.50, showing the crucial contribution of Yb-Yb intersite interaction to the gap formation in YbB12. The ∼-80 meV peak survives up to large x, indicating that it is caused by a single-impurity effect.
