Abstract

Magnetotransport measurements have been performed on two-dimensional electron gases formed at InAs(110) surfaces covered with a submonolayer of Fe. Hysteresis in the magnetoresistance, a difference in remanent magnetoresistance between zero-field-cooling procedures and field-cooling procedures, and logarithmic time-dependent relaxation after magnetic field sweep are clearly observed at 1.7 K for a coverage of 0.42 monolayer. These features are associated with spin-glass ordering in the Fe film.
