The critical exponent beta =0.17(1) for the three-dimensional random-field Ising model (RFIM) order parameter upon zero-field cooling (ZFC) has been determined using extinction-free magnetic x-ray scattering techniques for Fe(0.85)Zn(0.15)F2. This result is consistent with other exponents determined for the RFIM in that Rushbrooke scaling is satisfied. Nevertheless, there is poor agreement with equilibrium computer simulations, and the ZFC results do not agree with field-cooling (FC) results. We present details of hysteresis in Bragg scattering amplitudes and line shapes that help elucidate the effects of thermal cycling in the RFIM, as realized in dilute antiferromagnets in an applied field. We show that the ZFC critical-like behavior is consistent with a second-order phase transitions, albeit quasi-stationary rather than truly equilibrium in nature, as evident from the large thermal hysteresis observed near the transition.

It has long been believed that equilibrium random-field Ising model (RFIM) critical scattering studies are not feasible in dilute antiferromagnets close to and below Tc(H) because of severe non-equilibrium effects. The high magnetic concentration Isi
ng antiferromagnet Fe(0.93)Zn(0.07)F2, however, does provide equilibrium behavior. We have employed scaling techniques to extract the universal equilibrium scattering line shape, critical exponents nu = 0.87 +- 0.07 and eta = 0.20 +- 0.05, and amplitude ratios of this RFIM system.
The high magnetic concentration Ising antiferromagnet Fe(0.93)Zn(0.07)F2 does not exhibit the severe critical scattering hysteresis at low temperatures observed in all lower concentration samples studied. The system therefore provides equilibrium neu
tron scattering line shapes suitable for determining random-field Ising model critical behavior.
Critical scattering analyses for dilute antiferromagnets are made difficult by the lack of predicted theoretical line shapes beyond mean-field models. Nevertheless, with the use of some general scaling assumptions we have developed a procedure by whi
ch we can analyze the equilibrium critical scattering in these systems for H=0, the random-exchange Ising model, and, more importantly, for H>0, the random-field Ising model. Our new fitting approach, as opposed to the more conventional techniques, allows us to obtain the universal critical behavior exponents and amplitude ratios as well as the critical line shapes. We discuss the technique as applied to Fe(0.93)Zn(0.07)F2. The general technique, however, should be applicable to other problems where the scattering line shapes are not well understood but scaling is expected to hold.
The specific heat critical behavior is measured and analyzed for a single crystal of the random-field Ising system Fe(0.93)Zn(0.07)F2 using pulsed heat and optical birefringence techniques. This high magnetic concentration sample does not exhibit the
severe scattering hysteresis at low temperature seen in lower concentration samples and its behavior is therefore that of an equilibrium random-field Ising model system. The equivalence of the behavior observed with pulsed heat techniques and optical birefringence is established. The critical peak appears to be a symmetric, logarithmic divergence, in disagreement with random-field model computer simulations. The random-field specific heat scaling function is determined.
The specific heat (Cm) and optical birefringence (Delta n) for the magnetic percolation threshold system Fe(0.25)Zn(0.75)F2 are analyzed with the aid of Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. Both Delta n and the magnetic energy (Um) are governed by a linear
combination of near-neighbor spin-spin correlations, which we have determined for Delta n using MC simulations modeled closely after the real system. Near a phase transition or when only one interaction dominates, the temperature derivative of the birefringence [{d(Delta n)}/{dT}] is expected to be proportional Cm since all relevant correlations necessarily have the same temperature dependence. Such a proportionality does not hold for Fe(0.25)Zn(0.75)F2 at low temperatures, however, indicating that neither condition above holds. MC results for this percolation system demonstrate that the shape of the temperature derivative of correlations associated with the frustrating third-nearest-neighbor interaction differs from that of the dominant second-nearest-neighbor interaction, accurately explaining the experimentally observed behavior quantitatively.
