Popis: Zero-field longitudinal muon-spin-relaxation (μSR) experiments have been performed on single crystals of pseudo-brookite (Fe2−xTil+xO5; x=0.25), an anisotropic spin-glass system. The spinglass temperature (Tg) is determined to be 44.0±0.5K. Above Tg, a distinct exponential muon-spin-relaxation rate (λ) is observed, while below Tg a square-root exponential decay is seen, indicating fast spin fluctuations in the ‘frozen’ state. Near 8K, a maximum in λ is observed, which is due to transverse spin ordering at these low temperatures. Even near Tg, λ is very low (
