Abstract
We report muon spin relaxation and inelastic neutron measurements on the Heusler system YbPd 2Sn. Localized anisotropic and quasi-elastic Yb magnetic fluctuations are observed below T=150 K . Both μSR and neutron data indicate a slowing-down of the spin fluctuations upon lowering the temperature, similar to that observed in Kondo lattices. The temperature dependence of the quasi-elastic neutron signal is compatible with a crystal-electric field scheme having a Γ 7 CEF ground state. The muon depolarization rate exhibits an additional contribution upon decreasing the temperature below T c suggesting a close interplay between magnetic fluctuations and the superconducting state.
