Inelastic neutron scattering is used to characterize spin fluctuations in the $d$-electron heavy fermion spinel $\rm LiV_2O_4$. The spin relaxation rate, $\Gamma_Q$, for $Q=0.6$ \AA$^{-1}$ is 1.5(1) meV at low temperatures and increases…

Spin resistivity $R$ has been shown to result mainly from the scattering of itinerant spins with magnetic impurities and lattice spins. $R$ is proportional to the spin-spin correlation so that its behavior is very complicated near and at…
