Symmetrical Temperature-Chaos Effect with Positive and Negative Temperature Shifts in a Spin Glass

Abstract

The aging in a Heisenberg-like spin glass Ag(11 at% Mn) is investigated by measurements of the zero field cooled magnetic relaxation at a constant temperature after small temperature shifts . A crossover from fully accumulative to non-accumulative aging is observed, and by converting time scales to length scales using the logarithmic growth law of the droplet model, we find a quantitative evidence that positive and negative temperature shifts cause an equivalent restart of aging (rejuvenation) in terms of dynamical length scales. This result supports the existence of a unique overlap length between a pair of equilibrium states in the spin glass system.
