Interplay between aging and rejuvenation in spin glasses

Abstract

Aging in a single crystal spin glass (${\mathrm{Cu}}_{0.92}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{0.08}$) has been measured using ac susceptibility techniques over a temperature range of $0.3-0.8T_g$. In these studies, traditional aging experiments (or ``quench'' aging protocols) are compared to aging curves constructed from finite-cooling-rate curves. By comparing the growth rates of spin glass order between the two types of aging curves, it is determined that quantitative comparisons between protocols which are taken by quenching and protocols using a finite cooling rate are not possible without a deeper understanding of the interplay between aging and rejuvenation. We then demonstrate that the data presented indicate that rejuvenation, rather than cumulative aging, is the cause for the discrepancies between the two growth rates.
