摘要
We present detail thermodynamic and muon spin relaxation ($\mu$SR) studies of quantum spin liquid (QSL) candidate H$_3$LiIr$_2$O$_6$. In agreement with the low temperature thermodynamic evidence (\textit{e.g.} bulk magnetization and heat capacity) for the absence of magnetic transition, zero-field (ZF)-$\mu$SR measurements indicate the absence of static magnetic ordering or spin freezing down to our lowest temperature of 80~mK. Both ZF- and longitudinal-field (LF)-$\mu$SR measurements reveal persistent spin fluctuations at low temperatures. These results provide well-established evidence of a QSL state in H$_3$LiIr$_2$O$_6$. Furthermore, the observation of the time-field scaling behavior of $\mu$SR spectra $A(t)\sim A(t/H^{0.46})$, and the low temperature power-law specific heat coefficient $C/T \sim T^{-0.57}$, indicate the finite density of state in the form of $N(E) \sim E^{-0.5}$, in a good agreement with the disorder-induced states in the Kitaev spin liquid.
