Abstract

We present some numerical results for the Heisenberg spin-glass model with Gaussian interactions, in a three dimensional cubic lattice. We measure the AC susceptibility as a function of temperature and determine an apparent finite temperature transition which is compatible with the chiral-glass temperature transition for this model. The relaxation time diverges like a power law τ(TTc)zν\tau\sim (T-T_c)^{-z\nu} with Tc=0.19(4)T_c=0.19(4) and zν=5.0(5)z\nu=5.0(5). Although our data indicates that the spin-glass transition occurs at the same temperature as the chiral glass transition, we cannot exclude the possibility of a chiral-spin coupling scenario for the lowest frequencies investigated.
