Quantum and classical glass transitions in LiHoxY1-xF4.

چکیده
When performed in the proper low-field, low-frequency limits, measurements of the dynamics and the nonlinear susceptibility in the model Ising magnet in a transverse field LiHo(x)Y(1-x)F(4) prove the existence of a spin-glass transition for x=0.167 and 0.198. The classical behavior tracks for the two concentrations, but the behavior in the quantum regime at large transverse fields differs because of the competing effects of quantum entanglement and random fields.

Quantum spin glass in anisotropic dipolar systems
The spin-glass phase in the LiHoxY1−xF4 compound is considered. At zero transverse field this system is well described by the classical Ising model. At finite transverse field deviations from the transverse field quantum Ising model are significant, and one must take properly into account the hyperfine interactions, the off-diagonal terms in the dipolar interactions, and details of the full J =...
متن کاملSpecific heat of the dilute Ising magnet LiHoxY1-xF4.
We present specific heat data on three samples of the dilute Ising magnet LiHoxY1-xF4 with x=0.018, 0.045, and 0.080. Previous measurements of the ac susceptibility of an x=0.045 sample showed the Ho3+ moments to remain dynamic down to very low temperatures, and the specific heat was found to have unusually sharp features. In contrast, our measurements do not exhibit these sharp features in the...
متن کاملZero-temperature quantum phase transition of a two-dimensional Ising spin glass.
We study the quantum transition at T = 0 in the spin-12 Ising spin–glass in a transverse field in two dimensions. The world line path integral representation of this model corresponds to an effective classical system in (2+1) dimensions, which we study by Monte Carlo simulations. Values of the critical exponents are estimated by a finite-size scaling analysis. We find that the dynamical exponen...
متن کاملThe Quantum Spherical p-Spin-Glass Model
We study a quantum extension of the spherical p-spin-glass model using the imaginary-time replica formalism. We solve the model numerically and we discuss two analytical approximation schemes that capture most of the features of the solution. The phase diagram and the physical properties of the system are determined in two ways: by imposing the usual conditions of thermodynamic equilibrium and ...
متن کاملLandau theory of bi-criticality in a random quantum rotor system
We consider here a generalization of the random quantum rotor model in which each rotor is characterized by an M-component vector spin. We focus entirely on the case not considered previously, namely when the distribution of exchange interactions has non-zero mean. Inclusion of non-zero mean permits ferromagnetic and superconducting phases for M = 1 and M = 2, respectively. We find that quite g...
