Abstract
Signatures of spin-glass freezing such as the appearance of conductance noise, the recovery of universal conductance fluctuations, aging, as well as magnetic and thermal irreversibilities, are detected in mesoscopic wires of :I at millikelvin temperatures. Spectral characteristics of conductance time series are consistent with the droplet model of short-range spin glasses.
