Canonical spin-glass (SG) is an enigmatic system in condensed matter physics. In spite of the intense activities of last five decades several questions regarding the nature of the SG phase transition and the SG ground state are yet to be resolved completely. In this backdrop we have revisited the field cooled state of canonical spin-glass. We have experimentally studied magnetic response in two canonical spin-glass systems AuMn(1.8%) and AgMn(1.1%), both in the field cooled (FC) as well as zero field cooled (ZFC) state. We show that the well known magnetic memory effect, which clearly established earlier the metastable nature of the ZFC state in SG, is also present in the FC state. The results of our experimental study indicate that the FC state also is a non-equilibrium state, and hence the energy landscape involved is a non-trivial one. This in turn seriously questions the picture of spin-glass transformation as a second order thermodynamic phase transition.

Time and history dependent magnetization has been observed in a wide variety of materials, which are collectively termed as the glassy magnetic systems. However, such systems showing similar non-equilibrium magnetic response can be microscopically ve ry different and they can be distinguished by carefully looking into the details of the observed metastable magnetic behavior. Canonical spin glass is the most well studied member of this class and has been extensively investigated both experimentally and theoretically over the last five decades. In canonical spin glasses, the low temperature magnetic state obtained by cooling across the spin glass transition temperature in presence of an applied magnetic field is known as the field cooled (FC) state. This FC state in canonical spin glass is widely believed as an equilibrium state arising out of a thermodynamic second order phase transition. Here, we show that the FC state in canonical spin glass is not really an equilibrium state of the system. We report careful dc magnetization and ac susceptibility measurements on two canonical spin glass systems, AuMn (1.8%) and AgMn (1.1%). The dc magnetization in the FC state shows clear temperature dependence. In addition, the magnetization shows a distinct thermal hysteresis in the temperature regime below the spin glass transition temperature. On the other hand, the temperature dependence of ac susceptibility has clear frequency dispersion below spin glass transition in the FC state prepared by cooling the sample in the presence of a dc-bias field. We further distinguish the metastable response of the FC state of canonical spin glass from the metastable response the FC state in an entirely different class of glassy magnetic system namely magnetic glass, where the non-equilibrium behavior is associated with the kinetic-arrest of a first order magnetic phase transition.
We report inelastic neutron scattering results that reveal an hour-glass magnetic excitation spectrum in La1.75Sr0.25CoO4. The magnetic spectrum is similar to that observed previously in La1.67Sr0.33CoO4, but the spectral features are broader. We sho w that the spectrum of La1.75Sr0.25CoO4 can be modeled by the spin dynamics of a system with a disordered cluster spin glass ground state. Bulk magnetization measurements are presented which support the proposed glassy ground state. The observations reiterate the importance of quasi-one-dimensional magnetic correlations and disorder for the hour-glass spectrum, and suggest that disordered spin and charge stripes exist at lower doping in La2-xSrxCoO4 than previously thought.
We extend previous analytical studies of the ground-state phase diagram of a one-dimensional Heisenberg spin chain coupled to optical phonons, which for increasing spin-lattice coupling undergoes a quantum phase transition from a gap-less to a gaped phase with finite lattice dimerisation. We check the analytical results against established four-block and new two-block density matrix renormalisation group (DMRG) calculations. Different finite-size scaling behaviour of the spin excitation gaps is found in the adiabatic and anti-adiabatic regimes.
In the present work it is studied the fermionic van Hemmen model for the spin glass (SG) with a transverse magnetic field $Gamma$. In this model, the spin operators are written as a bilinear combination of fermionic operators, which allows the analys is of the interplay between charge and spin fluctuations in the presence of a quantum spin flipping mechanism given by $Gamma$. The problem is expressed in the fermionic path integral formalism. As results, magnetic phase diagrams of temperature versus the ferromagnetic interaction are obtained for several values of chemical potential $mu$ and $Gamma$. The $Gamma$ field suppresses the magnetic orders. The increase of $mu$ alters the average occupation per site that affects the magnetic phases. For instance, the SG and the mixed SG+ferromagnetic phases are also suppressed by $mu$. In addition, $mu$ can change the nature of the phase boundaries introducing a first order transition.

The ground state properties of the ferromagnetic shape memory alloy of nominal composition Ni2Mn1.36Sn0.64 have been studied by dc magnetization and ac susceptibility measurements. Like few other Ni-Mn based alloys, this sample exhibits exchange bias phenomenon. The observed exchange bias pinning was found to originate right from the temperature where a step-like anomaly is present in the zero-field-cooled magnetization data. The ac susceptibility study indicates the onset of spin glass freezing near this step-like anomaly with clear frequency shift. The sample can be identified as a reentrant spin glass with both ferromagnetic and glassy phases coexisting together at low temperature at least in the field-cooled state. The result provides us an comprehensive view to identify the magnetic character of various Ni-Mn-based shape memory alloys with competing magnetic interactions.
