Finite interaction range spin glass in the Ising model

Abstract

Using the Ising model and the random-field approximation, it is demonstrated that, in amorphous diluted magnets and crystalline metal alloys, the nearest neighbor interaction promotes a superparamagnetic state, which is followed by “freezing” of the magnetic moments of clusters and by transition into a macrospin glass state (cluster spin glass) as the temperature decreases. A theoretical magnetic phase diagram is constructed.
