Abstract

Randomness and frustration are considered to be the key ingredients for the existence of spin glass (SG) phase. In a canonical system, these ingredients are realized by the random mixture of ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AF) couplings. The study by Bartolozzi {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. B{\bf 73}, 224419 (2006)] who observed the presence of SG phase on the AF Ising model on scale free network (SFN) is stimulating. It is a new type of SG system where randomness and frustration are not caused by the presence of FM and AF couplings. To further elaborate this type of system, here we study Heisenberg model on AF SFN and search for the SG phase. The canonical SG Heisenberg model is not observed in dd-dimensional regular lattices for (d3d \leq 3). We can make an analogy for the connectivity density (mm) of SFN with the dimensionality of the regular lattice. It should be plausible to find the critical value of mm for the existence of SG behaviour, analogous to the lower critical dimension (dld_l) for the canonical SG systems. Here we study system with m=2,3,4m=2,3,4 and 55. We used Replica Exchange algorithm of Monte Carlo Method and calculated the SG order parameter. We observed SG phase for each value of mm and estimated its corersponding critical temperature.
