In the pyrochlore Yb(2)GaSbO(7), the Yb(3+) sublattice forms a network of corner sharing tetrahedra and the second sublattice is made up of disordered, non-magnetic Ga(3+) and Sb(5+) ions. We have examined this compound using magnetic susceptibility, (170)Yb Mössbauer spectroscopy (down to 0.03 K) and muon spin relaxation (?SR) (down to 0.02 K) measurements. We establish the size of the Yb(3+) magnetic moments and that of the Yb(3+)-Yb(3+) coupling. At low temperatures, the correlated moments fluctuate between directions that are well tilted relative to the local [111] axis. The lattice disorder does not quench the frustration induced low temperature spin fluctuations but it does remove the first order dynamic transition that is present in the crystallographically ordered counterpart Yb(2)Ti(2)O(7). Below 1.0 K, the fluctuation rate of the correlated moments decreases progressively as the temperature is reduced and the moments remain dynamic down to 0.02?K where the rate is 7 × 10(7) s(-1). Magnetic frustration is operative in Yb(2)GaSbO(7) where the Yb(3+)-Yb(3+) interaction is antiferromagnetic as it is in Yb(2)Ti(2)O(7) where the interaction is ferromagnetic.
