Abstract

We report on the muon spin rotation/relaxation study of a pyrochlore oxide, Cd2Os2O7, which exhibits a metal–insulator (MI) transition at TMI\\simeq225 K without structural phase transition. It reveals strong spin fluctuation (≥108 s−1) below the MI transition, suggesting a predominant role of geometrical spin frustration amongst Os5+ ions. Meanwhile, upon further cooling, an incommensurate spin density wave discontinuously develops below TSDW\\simeq150 K. These observations strongly suggest the occurrence of an anomalous magnetic transition and associated change in the local spin dynamics in undistorted pyrochlore antiferromagnet.
