Sommario:
  • The triangular-lattice system $α$-RuI$_3$ is isostructural to the widely-studied $α$-RuCl$_3$ compound which was identified as a potential Kitaev system but exhibits, instead of spin liquid behaviour, a magnetically ordered zig-zag ground state which sets in below 14~K. Here we show experimentally that, in contrast, the spins in $α$-RuI$_3$ remain dynamic down to at least 50~mK. We study the spin dynamics using muon-spin relaxation methods and determine the presence of low-frequency fluctuations which are characteristic of a two-dimensional system.
