Spin glass behavior in Sr2Mn0.7Fe0.3MoO6

Spin glass behavior in FeAl2

Magnetic and transport measurements indicate FeAl2 to be an ordered intermetallic spin glass, with canonical behavior including a susceptibility cusp at T f535 K and frequency-dependent susceptibility below T f . The field-cooled and zero-field-cooled magnetization diverge below T f , with hysteresis characteristic of a spin glass. A resistivity minimum just above T f is explained in terms of c...

Spin-glass behavior of semiconducting KxFe2− yS2

We report the discovery of KxFe2−yS2 single crystals, isostructural to KxFe2−ySe2 superconductors. The sulfide compound is a small gap semiconductor and shows spin-glass behavior below 32 K. Our results indicate that stoichiometry, defects, and the local environment of FeCh (Ch = S,Se) tetrahedra have important effects on the physical properties of isostructural and isoelectronic KxFe2−yCh2 com...

Evidence of non-mean-field-like low-temperature behavior in the Edwards-Anderson spin-glass model.

The three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson and mean-field Sherrington-Kirkpatrick Ising spin glasses are studied via large-scale Monte Carlo simulations at low temperatures, deep within the spin-glass phase. Performing a careful statistical analysis of several thousand independent disorder realizations and using an observable that detects peaks in the overlap distribution, we show that the Sherring...

Antiferromagnetic vs. ferromagnetic interactions and spin-glass-like behavior in ruthenates

We have made a series of gradient-corrected relativistic full-potential density-functional calculations for Ca-substituted and hole-doped SrRuO3 in para, ferro, and A-, C-, and G-type antiferromagnetic states. Magnetic phase-diagram data for Sr12xCaxRuO3 at 0 K are presented. Neutron diffraction measurements combined with total energy calculations show that spinglass behavior with short-range a...
