The effect of randomness on the quantum spin system Tl_{1-x}K_xCuCl₃ with {boldmath x} = 0.44 studied by the Zero-field Muon-Spin-Relaxation (ZF-μSR) method
read the original abstract
Zero-field muon-spin-relaxation (ZF-{\boldmath $\mu$}SR) measurements were carried out down to 80 mK on the randomness bond system Tl$_{1-x}$K$_x$CuCl$_3$ with $x$ = 0.44. Time spectra are well fitted by the stretched exponential function $\exp (-\lambda t)^{\beta}$. The muon spin relaxation rate $\lambda$ increases rapidly with decreasing temperature, and $\beta$ tends to 0.5 at 80 mK. The divergent increase of $\lambda$ suggests the critical slowing down of the frequency of the Cu-3{\it d} spin fluctuations toward a spin frozen state below 80 mK, and the root-exponential-like behavior of the time spectrum indicates that the origin of the relaxation is possibly the spatially-fixed fluctuating dilute moments.
