Investigations of the spin dynamics of the geometrically frustrated pyrochlore (Tb(p)Y(1-p))2Ti2O7, using muon spin relaxation and neutron spin echo, as a function of magnetic coverage p, have been carried out. Our major finding is that paramagnetic fluctuations prevail as T-->0 for all values of p, and that they are sensitive to dilution, indicating a cooperative spin motion. However, the percolation threshold pc is not a critical point for the fluctuations. We also find that the low temperature spectral density has a 1/f behavior, and that dilution slows down the spin fluctuations.
利用μ子自旋弛豫和中子自旋回波技术,对几何阻挫的烧绿石(Tb(p)Y(1 - p))2Ti2O7的自旋动力学随磁覆盖度p的变化进行了研究。我们的主要发现是,对于所有p值,当T→0时顺磁涨落占主导,且它们对稀释敏感,表明存在协同自旋运动。然而,渗流阈值pc并非涨落的临界点。我们还发现低温谱密度具有1/f行为,且稀释会减缓自旋涨落。
