Abstract

Investigations of the spin dynamics of the geometrically frustrated pyrochlore (Tb_pY_{1-p})_2Ti_2O_7, using muon spin relaxation and neutron spin echo, as a function of magnetic coverage p, have been carried out. Our major finding is that paramagnetic fluctuations prevail as T->0 for all values of p, and that they are sensitive to dilution, indicating a cooperative spin motion. However, the percolation threshold p_c is not a critical point for the fluctuations. We also find that the low temperatures spectral density has a 1/f behavior, and that dilution slows down the spin fluctuations.
