摘要
We report muon spin. relaxation and inelastic neutron measurements on the Heusler system YbPd2Sn. Localized anisotropic and quasi-elastic Yb magnetic fluctuations are observed below T = 150 K. Both muSR and neutron data indicate a slowing-down of the spin fluctuations upon lowering the temperature, similar to that observed in Kondo lattices. The temperature dependence of the quasi-elastic neutron signal is compatible with a crystal-electric field scheme having a Gamma(7)(CEF) ground state. The muon depolarization rate exhibits an additional contribution upon decreasing the temperature below T-c suggesting a close interplay between magnetic fluctuations and the superconducting state.
