The intermediate-valent polymorphs- andexhibit quantum criticality and other novel properties not usually associated with intermediate valence. Iron doping induces quantum criticality inand magnetic order in both compounds. We report results of muon spin relaxation () experiments inand 0.25. Forwe find no evidence for magnetic order down to 25 mK. The dynamic muon spin relaxation rateexhibits a power-law temperature dependence, in the temperature range 100 mK–2 K, in disagreement with predictions by theories of antiferromagnetic (AFM) or valence quantum critical behavior. For, where AFM order develops in the temperature range 7.5–10 K, we find coexistence of meso- or macroscopically segregated paramagnetic and AFM phases, with considerable disorder in the latter down to 2 K.
