Abstract
Dynamics of classical Heisenberg spins Si on the Kagomé lattice has been studied. An ideal Heisenberg Kagomé antiferromagnet is known to remain disordered down to T=0 due to the macroscopic degeneracy of the ground state. However, we find that Si and their planar components si in the thermally selected coplanar nematic state behave in a qualitatively different way and especially planar spins (si) show the exotic glass-like transition in the very low temperature T∼0.003J (J: spin exchange). The glassy behaviors of si would be found to be driven by the spin-nematic fluctuations, different from ordinary spin glasses by disorders or anisotropies.
