STATIC SCALING IN A SHORT-RANGE ISING SPIN-GLASS

• The nonlinear ac susceptibility chi’-nl of the short-range Ising spin glass Fe0.5Mn0.5TiO3 has been measured using a superconducting-quantum-interference-device magnetometer. The spin-glass temperature, T(g), and the critical exponent gamma were estimated from the temperature dependence of the quadratic field term of chi’nl, yielding T(g) = 20.70 and gamma = 4.0. Static-scaling analyses, using different scaling equations, gave similar results. Using gamma and results from previous dynamic-scaling analyses, a number of critical exponents have been obtained through different scaling relations, e.g., delta = 8.4 and nu = 1.7. The results support the existence of a finite-temperature phase transition in a three-dimensional Ising spin glass.
