Excess specific heat and evidence of zero point entropy in magnetic glassy state of half-doped manganites

Abstract

We show that specific heat C${}_p$ has non-Debye behavior for glassy states in half-doped manganites. Irrespective of the magnetic order or electronic states, these magnetic glasses have higher C${}_p$ compared to their equilibrium counterparts. The excess C${}_p$ contributed by the glassy state varies linearly with temperature similar to conventional glasses indicating tunneling in the two-level systems. These glassy states show signature of zero point entropy. Magnetic glasses can be produced simply by different field cooling protocols and may be considered ideal magnetic counterpart of the conventional glass.
