Abstract

We numerically study the nonequilibrium dynamics of the three-dimensional Heisenberg Edwards-Anderson spin glass following a sudden quench to its low-temperature phase. The subsequent aging behavior of the system is analyzed in detail, and the scaling behavior of various space-time correlation functions is investigated for both spin and chiral degrees of freedom. We carefully compare our results with those obtained from simulations of the more studied Ising version of the model, and with experiments on real spin glasses in which the spins have vectorial character. Finally, the present dynamical study offers perspectives into the possibility of spin-chirality decoupling at low temperature in vectorial spin glasses.
