    Abstract

    A neutron spin-echo investigation of the low temperature spin dynamics in two well-characterized kagomé bilayer compounds SrCr9xGa12-9xO19 (x=0.95, SCGO) and Ba2Sn2ZnCr7xGa10-7xO22 (x=0.97, BSZCGO) reveals two novel features. One is the slowing down of the relaxation rate without critical behavior at Tg, where a macroscopic spin-glass-like freezing occurs. The second is, in SCGO at 4 K (approximately Tg)<T<7 K, the relaxation rate activation energy Ea=7+/-0.4 meV, equal to the energy of a phonon mode, pointing out the role of spin-lattice coupling.
