Abstract
Muon spin relaxation and magnetic susceptibility measurements have been performed on the pure and diluted spin kagomé system . In the pure system we found a slowing down of Cu spin fluctuations with decreasing temperature towards , followed by slow and nearly temperature-independent spin fluctuations persisting down to , indicative of quantum fluctuations. No indication of static spin freezing was detected in either of the pure () or diluted samples. The observed magnitude of fluctuating fields indicates that the slow spin fluctuations represent an intrinsic property of kagomé network rather than impurity spins.
