Description
Muon spin relaxation (μSR) experiments have been carried out down to 20mK in the filled skutterudite PrRu4P12 that exhibits a metal-insulator transition around TMI=60K. No precession in the μSR data at zero external magnetic field (ZF) suggests no magnetic order down to 20mK. The ZF relaxation rate of the μ+ spin polarization shows no sizable change across TMI within the experimental accuracy. However, it increases below 30K monotonically with decreasing temperature. Indications have been found on the existence of dynamically fluctuating internal fields, presumably associated with the 4f electron dynamics
