Abstract

We study the field cooled magnetization of a CuMn spin glass under temperature perturbations. The TT-cycling curves are compared with the reference curve without temperature cycling. There is a crossover from the cumulative aging region to noncumulative aging region as the temperature change is increased. The cumulative aging range scales with the chaos length c\ell_\mathrm{c}, becoming comparable to the correlation length, ξ\xi, at the crossover boundary. The extracted chaos exponent, ζ=1.1\zeta = 1.1, is in agreement with theoretical predictions. Our results strongly suggest temperature chaos exists in real spin glasses system.
