Absence of magnetic order in Yb3Ga5O12: relation between phase transition and entropy in geometrically frustrated materials

P. Dalmas de Reotier, A. Yaouanc, P. C. M. Gubbens +3

From muon spin relaxation spectroscopy experiments, we show that the sharp peak (lambda type anomaly) detected by specific heat measurements at 54 mK for the ytterbium gallium garn…
