We have investigated the low-temperature physical properties of topological intermetallic compounds RV6Sn6 (R = Tb, Dy, Ho, Er) using heat-capacity and muon spin relaxation (µSR) measurements. These compounds feature a combination of a V-based nonmagnetic Kagome sublattice and an R-based magnetic triangular sublattice that harbors different spin anisotropies for different R ions. Long-range magnetic order is seen for R = Tb, Dy, Ho, and Er compounds at 4.3, 3.0, 2.4, and 0.6 K, respectively. However, the hyperfine analysis of the heat capacity data yields a reduced value of magnetic moment for all the compounds, implying persistence spin fluctuations down to 50 mK. Indications of such dynamical magnetism are further supported by our µSR studies. We argue that this intriguing competition and coexistence between persistent spin dynamics and long-range magnetic order is a manifestation of strong magnetic frustration in these systems.
