Magnetic ordering and dynamics in the XY pyrochlore antiferromagnet: a muon-spin relaxation study of Er2Ti2O7 and Er2Sn2O7

Spin dynamics in Er2 and 2Sn2O7 have been probed by means of muonspin relaxation (μ+SR) in the temperature range 0.02 ≤ T ≤ 300 K. Both compounds are thought to constitute experimental realizations of the highly frustrated XY antiferromagnet on the pyrochlore lattice, for which theory predicts fluct...
