Abstract

Zero longitudinal and transverse fieldμSR was carried out in the antiferromagnets YMn2, Y0.95 Tb0.15 Mn2, Y0.9Tb0.1Mn2, Y0.99 Sc0.01 Mn2, Y0.98Sc0.02Mn2 and TbMn2. The dynamics of Mn magnetic moments above T N is typical for an itinerant antiferromagnet. Within a certain temperature range above T N part of the material enters a randomly ordered (spin glass like) magnetic state as an outcome of frustration. At temperatures above ∼ 150 K the muon spin relaxation rate indicates that the muon has become mobile.
