摘要: The distorted kagome system Nd3Ga5SiO14 has been investigated with neutron scattering down to 0.046 K no evidence of magnetic long range order the Nd3+ moments in a zero field. Substantial diffuse is observed which agreement nearest-neighbor correlations between fluctuating spins. Upon application field c direction, reduced intensity while Bragg peaks grow saturate by 1 T 1/2 expected magnetization. These measurements suggest that unique spin-liquid state develops frustration index f approximately |theta|/T_{C}> or =1300.
