摘要
We present muSR experiments in the S = 3/2 kagome bilayer compound Ba2Sn2ZnGa10-7pCr7pO22 [BSZCGO(p)] and compare it to the isostructural SrCr9pGa12-9pO19 [SCGO(p)], including for the latter new results for p greater than or equal to 0.89. Quantum-dynamical low energy magnetic excitations are evidenced in this novel compound. We study the evolution of the muon relaxation rate with p, T, and field. A phenomenological model for the muon relaxation based on sporadic dynamics due to spin excitations in a singlet sea proposed by Uemura et al. is extended to all fields and T range. Its connection to the RVB picture is discussed, and we argue that such coherent states might mediate the interactions between "impurities" which induce the spin glass freezing.
