Abstract
We found that a layered magnet La5Mo4O16 exhibits a long-time relaxation of the magnetization from a ferromagnetic to an antiferromagnetic state. This unconventional relaxation in a pure crystal magnet far below the transition temperature arises from the extremely two-dimensional nature of the magnetic interactions, by which the Mo spins are strongly coupled and form a big spin within a layer.
