Abstract

We present μ\muSR experiments in the S=3/2S=3/2 kagome bilayer compound Ba2_{2}Sn2_{2}ZnGa107p_{10-7p}Cr7p_{7p}O22_{22} (BSZCGO(p)(p)) and compare it to the isostructural SrCr9p_{9p}Ga129p_{12-9p}O19_{19} (SCGO(p)(p)), including for the latter new results for p0.89p\geq0.89. Quantum-dynamical low energy magnetic excitations are evidenced in this novel compound. We study the evolution of the muon relaxation rate with pp, TT and field. A phenomenological model for the muon relaxation based on sporadic dynamics due to spin excitations in a singlet sea proposed by Uemura \emph{et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{73}, 3306 (1994)]. is extended to all fields and TT-range. Its connexion to the RVB picture is discussed, and we argue that such coherent states might mediate the interactions between "impurities" which induce the spin glass freezing.
