摘要
We investigate the spin dynamics of SrCr9pGa12-9pO19 for p below and above the percolation threshold p(c) using muon spin relaxation. Our major findings are as follows: (i) At T --> 0 the relaxation rate is T independent and proportional to p(3), (ii) the slowing down of spin fluctuation is activated with an energy U, which is also a linear function of p(3) and lim(p-->0) U = 8 K; this energy scale could stem only From a single ion anisotropy, and (iii) the p dependence of the dynamical properties is identical below and above p(c), indicating that they are controlled by local excitation.
