We report on very low temperature (27 mK) Mossbauer absorption spectra on Gd 155 in the Heisenberg frustrated antiferromagnets Gd2 Sn2 O7 (GdSn) and Gd2 Ti2 O7. We show that electronic fluctuations of correlated Gd3+ moments are present near T=0 in GdSn by observing that the hyperfine levels are out of equilibrium. Using a model spin 1/2 system, submitted to a magnetic (hyperfine) field reversing randomly in time, we find an analytical expression for the stationary probability distribution of the level populations (or magnetization). This quantity is a simple function of the ratio of the nuclear relaxation time to the average electronic flip time. These two time scales are found to be of the same magnitude in GdSn, and we discuss a relevant mechanism for nuclear relaxation and the influence of electronic fluctuations on the nuclear specific heat.
