چکیده
The spin dynamics of geometrically frustrated pyrochlore antiferromagnets Y2Mo2O7 and Tb2Mo2O7 have been investigated using muon spin relaxation. A dramatic slowing down of the moment fluctuations occurs as one approaches the spin freezing temperatures (TF522 and 25 K, respectively! from above. Below TF there is a disordered magnetic state similar to that found in a spin glass but with a residual muon spin relaxation rate at low temperatures. These results show that there is a large density of states for magnetic excitations in these systems near zero energy. @S0163-1829~96!07438-3#

Low temperature spin dynamics of geometrically frustrated antiferromagnets Y2Mo2O7 and Y2Mo1.6Ti0.4O7 studied by muon spin relaxation
The spin dynamics of geometrically frustrated pyrochlore antiferromagnets Y2Mo2O7 and Y2Mo1.6Ti0.4O7 have been investigated using muon spin relaxation. In Y2Mo2O7 a dramatic slowing down of the Mo spin fluctuations occurs as one approaches the spin freezing temperature TF of 22 K from above. At lower temperatures the spins freeze into a disordered magnetic state similar to that found in a spin ...
متن کاملWeak quasistatic magnetism in the frustrated Kondo lattice Pr2Ir2O7
Muon spin relaxation experiments have been performed in the pyrochlore iridate Pr2Ir2O7 for temperatures in the range 0.025– 250 K. Kubo-Toyabe relaxation functions are observed up to & 200 K, indicating static magnetism over this temperature range. The T → 0 static muon spin relaxation rate ∆(0) ≈ 8 μs implies a weak quasistatic moment (∼0.1μB). The temperature dependence of ∆ is highly non-me...
متن کاملμSR study on magnetic property of [Pd(dmit)2] salts
Magnetic property of antiferromagnets with two-dimensional distorted triangular lattice structures, β′-Me4P[Pd(dmit)2]2 and β′-Et2Me2P[Pd(dmit)2]2, was investigated by the muon spin relaxation method. Enhancement of the muon spin depolarization associated with the critical slow-down effect suggests that the spin dynamics due to the twoand three-dimensional magnetic correlations reflects the dev...
متن کاملChiral-like critical behavior in the antiferromagnet cobalt glycerolate.
Critical exponents closely matching those of the N=2 chiral universality class have been obtained for the layered magnetic system cobalt glycerolate using muon spin relaxation. This class was originally introduced to represent geometrically frustrated triangular stacked-layer XY magnets with chiral noncollinear spin structures. Since the present magnetic system is a canted XY system without geo...
متن کاملFirst-order transition in the spin dynamics of geometrically frustrated Yb2Ti2O7.
Using neutron diffraction, 170Yb Mössbauer and muon spin relaxation spectroscopies, we have examined the pyrochlore Yb2Ti2O7, where the Yb3+S' = 1/2 ground state has planar anisotropy. Below approximately 0.24 K, the temperature of the known specific-heat lambda transition, there is no long range magnetic order. We show that the transition corresponds to a first-order change in the fluctuation ...
