Title Muon spin rotation studies of spin dynamics at avoided level crossings in LiY0.998Ho0.002F4
Contributors
Abstract We have studied the Ho3+ spin dynamics for LiY0.998Ho0.002F4 via the positive muon (mu(+)) transverse field depolarization rate lambda(TF) as a function of temperature and magnetic field. We find sharp minima in lambda(TF)(H) at fields for which the Ho3+ ion system has field-induced (avoided) level crossings. The reduction scales with calculated level repulsions, suggesting that mu(+) depolarization by slow fluctuations of nonresonant Ho3+ spin states is partly suppressed when resonant tunneling opens new fluctuation channels at frequencies much greater than the muon precession frequency.
