Abstract

We study the Hubbard model on a geometrically-frustrated hyperkagome lattice by a cluster extension of the dynamical mean field theory. We calculate the temperature ( $T$ ) dependences of the specific heat ( $C$ ) and the spin-lattice relaxation time ( $T_{1}$ ) in correlated metallic region. $C / T$ shows a peak at $T = T_{p 1}$ and rapidly decreases as $T - > 0$ . On the other hand, $1/ T_{1} T$ has a peak at a higher temperature $T_{p 2}$ than $T_{p 1}$ , and largely decreases below $T_{p 2}$ , followed by the Korringa law $1/ T_{1} p r o pt o T$ as $T - > 0$ . Both peak temperatures are suppressed and the peaks become sharper as electron correlation is increased. These behaviors originate from strong renormalization of the energy scales in the peculiar electronic structure in this frustrated system; a pseudo-gap like feature, the van-Hove singularity, and the flat band. The results are discussed in comparison with the experimental data in the hyperkagome material, Na $_{4}$ Ir $_{3}$ O $_{8}$ .
