Abstract
The A2B2O7 pyrochlore structure provides an excellent framework to probe frustrated magnetic states due to its network of corner sharing tetrahedra. The A=Tb family of pyrochlores has garnered particular interest because of the comparable energy scale of crystal electric field excitations and strength of interaction between Tb3+ moments. muSR will be used to probe for magnetic ordering in this system.
