Spin fluctuations in the hyperkagome quantum antiferromagnet Na4Ir3O8

DOI

Spins arranged on the kagome lattice are one of the most widely investigated topics in frustrated magnetism. In this context, the three-dimensional analogue of these systems, the hyperkagome lattice, offers an opportunity to study a similar topology with different constraints. Here we propose to study Na4Ir3O8: a spin-1=2 hyperkagome system that is thought to be a three-dimensional spin liquid.For Na4Ir3O8 the following questions remain significant and are suitable to be probed using muSR: - Can the absence of magnetic order down to low temperature be confirmed by a local probe? - Are the spin dynamics consistent with those of a three-dimensional spin liquid? - Is there any evidence for gapped spin excitations? - Do the spin excitations have a discontinuous temperature dependence indicative of a transitionbetween distinct fluctuating states?
