The magnetic nature of the CaFe2O4-type NaMn2O4 and Li0.92Mn2O4, in which Mn ions form a zigzag chain along the b-axis, have been investigated by muon-spin rotation and relaxation (μ+SR) and susceptibility (χ) measurements in the temperature range between 1.9 and 250 K using polycrystalline samples. Weak transverse-field μ+SR measurements revealed the existence of a bulk antiferromagnetic (AF) transition for NaMn2O4 at TN=39 K and for Li0.92Mn2O4 at TN=44 K, although the χ(T) curve did not exhibit a clear anomaly around TN for either compound. Below TN, however, the zero-field μ+SR spectra in both samples did not show the oscillatory signal characteristic of long range magnetic order. Instead, a slowly relaxing tail is observed. Comparisons with the calculated internal magnetic field for the AF ordered phase suggests that the AF spin structure is disordered and/or rapidly fluctuating. In the paramagnetic region above 100 K, a nuclear magnetic field in Li0.92Mn2O4 was found to be dynamic, whereas that in NaMn2O4 was almost static. This implies the diffusive motion of Li+ ions in Li0.92Mn2O4 even below 250 K.
