Description

We report on the results of muon spin relaxation (μSR) measurements on the low-carrier-density, strongly correlated compound CeRu4Sn6. Our results dismiss the possibility of magnetic ordering in CeRu4Sn6, either in the form of spin-glass or long-range ordering for temperatures down to 50mK. The muon depolarization rate is both temperature- and field-dependent at low temperatures (T<1K), consistent with the physical properties of CeRu4Sn6, indicating that it is a paramagnetic material with low-temperature quantum fluctuations
