Quantum critical spin-liquid-like behavior in the $$S$$ = $$frac{1}{2}$$ quasikagome-lattice compound CeRh$$_{1-x}$$Pd$$_x$$Sn investigated using muon spin relaxation and neutron scattering

We present the results of muon spin relaxation ($$mu$$SR) and neutron scattering measurements on the Ce-based quasikagome lattice CeRh$$_{1-x}$$Pd$$_x$$Sn ($$x$$ = 0.1 to 0.75). Our $$mu$$SR results reveal the absence of both static long-range magnetic order and spin freezing down to 0.05 K in the $$x$$ = 0.1 sample, which is consistent with neutron scattering results. The weak temperature-dependent plateaus of the dynamic spin fluctuations below 0.2 K in zero field together with its longitudinal-field (LF) dependence indicate the presence of dynamic spin fluctuations persisting even at 0.05 K without static magnetic order. We argue that such a behavior for $$x$$ = 0.1 can be attributed to a metallic spin-liquid-like ground state near the quantum critical point in the frustrated Kondo lattice. The LF-$$mu$$SR study suggests that the out of kagome plane spin fluctuations are responsible for the spin-liquid behavior.
