Muon Spin Relaxation Investigation of the Spin Dynamics of Geometrically Frustrated Antiferromagnets Y2Mo2O7 and Tb2Mo2O7 Static Critical Behavior of the Spin-Freezing
Abstract
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 (TF=22 K 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.
