Abstract
The functional form of the relaxation of the thermoremnant magnetization of CuMn spin glass has been investigated. A remarkable influence of the aging process of the spin-glass state, which can give an apparent stretched exponential form of the total relaxation, is demonstrated. The spin-glass relaxation can be described by a nearly logarithmic function superimposed by an additional relaxation due to the aging process. The superimposed relaxation can be described by a stretched exponential function: =(T,)exp-[(t/ ], where is the wait time at constant temperature in the field-cooled state.
