摘要:

自旋玻璃态是凝聚态物理中最有趣的问题之一,它的磁矩(自旋)冻结在随机方向上。虽然大多数理论研究都集中在爱德华-安德森模型的伊辛自旋只有离散的“上/下”方向,这样的伊辛系统是罕见的实验。LiHo $_{x}$ Y $_{1-x}$ F $_{4}$是一种几乎理想的Ising SG材料,其中Ho $^{3+}$矩由Ising自旋很好地描述。在LiHo $_{x}$ Y $_{1-x}$ F $_{4}$中,Ho $^{3+}$磁矩主要通过固有的受抑静磁偶极-偶极相互作用相互作用。导致SG行为的随机阻挫源自偶极耦合Ho $^{3+}$被非磁性Y $^{3+}$随机取代。在本文中,我们提供了令人信服的证据,从广泛的计算机模拟SG过渡在非零温度下发生在一个现实的微观模型LiHo $_{x}$ Y $_{1-x}$ F $_{4}$,从而解决了长期存在的,仍然在进行中,争议的SG过渡无序偶极伊辛系统的存在。

英文摘要:

The physics of the spin glass (SG) state, with magnetic moments (spins) frozen in random orientations, is one of the most intriguing problems in condensed matter physics. While most theoretical studies have focused on the Edwards-Anderson model of Ising spins with only discrete `up/down' directions, such Ising systems are experimentally rare. LiHo$_{x}$Y$_{1-x}$F$_{4}$, where the Ho$^{3+}$ moments are well described by Ising spins, is an almost ideal Ising SG material. In LiHo$_{x}$Y$_{1-x}$F$_{4}$, the Ho$^{3+}$ moments interact predominantly via the inherently frustrated magnetostatic dipole-dipole interactions. The random frustration causing the SG behavior originates from the random substitution of dipole-coupled Ho$^{3+}$ by non-magnetic Y$^{3+}$. In this paper, we provide compelling evidence from extensive computer simulations that a SG transition at nonzero temperature occurs in a realistic microscopic model of LiHo$_{x}$Y$_{1-x}$F$_{4}$, hence resolving the long-standing, and still ongoing, controversy about the existence of a SG transition in disordered dipolar Ising systems.
