Abstract

Static and dynamic behavior of short-range Ising spin glass (SG) Cu0.5Co0.5Cl2FeCl3 graphite bi-intercalation compounds has been studied with superconducting quantum interference device dc and ac magnetic susceptibility. The T dependence of the zero-field relaxation time τ above a spin-freezing temperature Tg(=3.92±0.11K) is well described by critical slowing down. The absorption χ below Tg decreases with increasing angular frequency ω, which is in contrast to the case of 3D Ising spin glass. The dynamic freezing temperature Tf(H,ω) at which dMFC(T,H)/dH=χ(T,H=0,ω) is determined as a function of frequency (0.01 Hz <~ω/2π<~1kHz) and magnetic field (0<~H<~5kOe). The dynamic scaling analysis of the relaxation time τ(T,H) defined as τ=1/ω at T=Tf(H,ω) suggests the absence of SG phase in the presence of H (at least above 100 Oe). Dynamic scaling analysis of χ(T,ω) and τ(T,H) near Tg leads to the critical exponents (β=0.36±0.03, γ=3.5±0.4, ν=1.4±0.2, z=6.6±1.2, ψ=0.24±0.02, and θ=0.13±0.02). The aging phenomenon is studied through the absorption χ(ω,t) below Tg. It obeys a (ωt)b power-law decay with an exponent b0.150.2. The rejuvenation effect is also observed under sufficiently large (temperature and magnetic-field) perturbations.
