摘要
Muon spin relaxation (muSR) experiments have been carried out at low temperatures in the non-Fermi-liquid heavy-fermion compound YbRh2Si2. The longitudinal-field muSR relaxation function is exponential, indicative that the dynamic spin fluctuations are homogeneous. The relaxation rate 1/T-1 varies with applied field as H-y, y = 1.0+/-0.1, which implies a scaling law of the form chi"(omega)proportional toomega(-y)f(omega/T), lim(x-->0)f(x) = x for the dynamic spin susceptibility.
