Abstract

We present a μSR study of oxygen-doped delafossites RCuO_2+δ (δ = 0.5, 0.66; R³⁺ = La³⁺, Y³⁺) which present triangular based lattices of Cu²⁺, S = 1/2 spins. A slowing down of the spin dynamics without onset of a magnetic static freezing down to 1.6 K is found for YCuO_2.5, which is believed to be an example of a Δ-chain. In contrast, YCuO_2.66 and LaCuO_2.66 clearly order, probably into an antiferromagnetic state which was rather unexpected.
