“…We present for the first time a systematic study of the magnetic moment in thin spin-glass films in the thickness range from 500 to 10 nm during a field-cooling from 295 to 2 K in a field of 6 T. We chose to cool the samples down in a large magnetic field to avoid time effects of the magnetization which occur when measuring the magnetization after a zero-field cooling [20,21]. These time effects are similar to the decay of the remanent magnetization in time and it is nowadays widely accepted that the field-cooled magnetization (rather than the zero-field cooled) represents the equilibrium magnetization of a spin glass [20 -22].…”
We used polarized neutron reflectometry to determine the temperature dependence of the magnetization of thin AuFe films with 3% Fe concentration. We performed the measurements in a large magnetic field of 6 T in a temperature range from 295 to 2 K. For the films in the thickness range from 500 to 20 nm we observed a Brillouin-type behavior from 295 K down to 50 K and a constant magnetization of about 0.9 micro(B) per Fe atom below 30 K. However, for the 10 nm thick film we observed a Brillouin-type behavior down to 20 K and a constant magnetization of about 1.3 micro(B) per Fe atom below 20 K. These experiments are the first to show a finite-size effect in the magnetization of single spin-glass films in large magnetic fields. Furthermore, the ability to measure the deviation from the paramagnetic behavior enables us to prove the existence of the spin-glass state where other methods relying on a cusp-type behavior fail.
“…3 with a pronounced cusp at 10 K which can be taken to define T f in our thin-film sample analagous to the cusp in the magnetic susceptibility of bulk AuFe samples. The existence of a cusp in high magnetic fields is surprising in light of magnetization measurements on bulk Au 96 Fe 4 samples [7] where the cusp nearly disappeared in a field of only 1 mT. For comparison a Brillouin function with 2:8m B per Fe atom is plotted in Fig.…”
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.
