For five different Heisenberg spin glass systems, torque experiments were performed in applied magnetic fields up to 4 T. The Dzyaloshinski-Moriya random anisotropy strengths, the in-field torque onset temperatures, and the torque relaxation were measured. Critical exponents were estimated independently using a standard protocol. The data are strong evidence for a true spin glass ordered state which survives under high applied magnetic fields; they can be interpreted consistently in terms of a chiral ordering model with replica symmetry breaking as proposed by Kawamura and co-workers.
Muon spin depolarization has been studied in moderately concentrated AgMn and AuFe alloys from the freezing temperature T~up to 300 K. The muon depolarization function can be analyzed to show that the temperature dependence of the strongly nonexponential form of the local spin autocorrelation function in these canonical alloys is similar to that observed in numerical simulations on Ising spin glasses. The dynamic behavior above Tg appears to be an intrinsic precursor to spin glass freezing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
