Abstract

We have investigated a phase transition of a long-range RKKY Ising spin glass \dyyrusi by means of the dc and the ac magnetization measurements. The static nonlinear susceptibility χ2\chi_{2} exhibits a divergent behavior toward \Tg\Tg == 1.925 K with the exponent of γ\gamma == 1.08. The characteristic relaxation time τ\tau obtained from the ac magnetization measurements also diverges to the same \Tg\Tg with the exponent of zνz\nu == 1.9 in zero static field . These results indicate the spin glass phase transition belonging to the mean-field universality class, in which the exponents of \gammaMF\gammaMF and \znuMF\znuMF are 1 and 2 respectively. Moreover, we observed the divergence of τ\tau in a finite field of 500 Oe toward \Tg\Tg == 1.412 K with the exponent of zνz\nu == 2.1, being quite similar to that in zero field. It strongly suggests an existence of the spin glass phase transition in a finite field and the replica symmetry breaking (RSB) in the long-range Ising spin glass \dyyrusi.
