Abstract

We solve for the SU(N) Heisenberg spin-glass in the limit of large N focusing on small S and T. We study the effect of quantum and thermal fluctuations in the frequency dependent response function and observed interesting transfers of spectral weight. We compute the T-dependence of the order parameter and the specific heat and find an unusual T^2 behavior for the latter at low temperatures in the spin-glass phase. We find a remarkable qualitative agreement with various experiments on the quantum frustrated magnet SrCr_{9p}Ga_{12-9p}O_{19}.
