Deviations from the usual Landau-Fermi-liquid theory are observed in an increasing number of correlated electron system which are close to a magnetic instability where a transition from a nonmagnetic ground state to a magnetically ordered state occurs. YbRh2Si2 is the first Yb-based compound which obeys non-Fermi-liquid behavior as seen in unusual temperature dependences of thermodynamic and transport properties at temperatures above the very low ordering temperature TN = 65 mK. In the vicinity of the magnetic instability in YbRh2Si2 one expects critical spin fluctuations which are the origin of the non-Fermi-liquid behavior. Inelastic neutron scattering on YbRh2Si2 powder has been performed to investigate the magnetic response. The high energy response is dominated by crystalline electric field excitations, found at ≈ 27, and 42 meV. In contrast, the low energy response is quasielastic and shows a critical slowing down as the temperature is reduced. However, the quasielastic response seems to be non-Lorentzian like, but could be fitted by a phenomenological model for the susceptibility using a distribution of relaxation rates with an upper, temperature independent bound and a lower bound varying roughly linearly with T.
