Abstract
We present the constraints on the axial-vector and pseudo-scalar mediated WIMP-nucleus interactions from the PandaX-4T experiment, using the data set corresponding to a total exposure of 0.63~tonneyear. No significant signal excess is observed, and the most stringent upper limits to date on the spin-dependent WIMP-neutron scattering cross section are set at 90\% confidence level with the minimum WIMP-neutron scattering cross section of 5.8\si{\cm^{2}} for WIMP mass of 40~\si{\GeV/}. Exclusion limits on the axial-vector and pseudo-scalar simplified models are also derived.
