Spin frustration in Y(Sc)Mn2
Abstract
The relaxation rate of muon polarization of Y0.97Sc0.03Mn2 with a magnetic lattice composed of corner‐shared tetrahedrons shows a broad peak around 2.5 K indicating a random spin freezing at low temperatures. The substitution by nonmagnetic Al atoms for 10% Mn atoms raises the spin freezing temperature to 45 K. The present work shows clearly that due to the strong geometrical frustration, the ground state of the system is singlet tetrahedrons …
