Abstract

We have performed an extensive muon spin relaxation study of the well known (Fe1x_{1-x}Mnx_{x})75_{75}P16_{16}B6_6Al3_3 reentrant spin glass. We find a strong increase of the dynamic as well as static muon depolarization rate at the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition temperature, TcT_c, and at TfT_f (Tf<TcT_f<T_c) that corresponds to the onset of strong bulk magnetic irreversabilities. We find no critical dynamic signature of a freezing of the transverse XYXY spin components at an intermediate temperature TxyT_{xy} (Tf<Txy<TcT_f < T_{xy} < T_c) where extra static order not contributing to the magnetization starts developping.
