Abstract
Zero- and longitudinal-field positive muon spin relaxation measurements were carried out from 300 K to 30 mK to study a ground state of which is known to be a two-dimensional kagomé antiferromagnet with by ac-susceptibility measurements. An implanted muon is expected to make a hydrogen bonding state with ions in the crystal. Muon-spin depolarization by a dynamically fluctuating component of an internal field was still observed at 30 mK. This fluctuating component is suggested to be caused by an intradimer ferromagnetic interaction of K between radicals. No clear long-range magnetic ordering of the dimer spins was observed down to 30 mK, suggesting that the ground state of was nonmagnetic.
