Dynamical Simulation of Spin-Glass and Chiral-Glass Orderings in Three-Dimensional Heisenberg Spin Glasses

Abstract

Spin-glass and chiral-glass orderings in three-dimensional Heisenberg spin glasses are studied with and without random magnetic anisotropy by dynamical Monte Carlo simulations. In the isotropic case, clear evidence of a finite-temperature chiral-glass transition is presented. While the spin autocorrelation exhibits only an interrupted aging, the chirality autocorrelation persists to exhibit a pronounced aging effect reminiscent of the one observed in the mean-field model. In the anisotropic case, asymptotic mixing of the spin and the chirality is observed in the off-equilibrium dynamics.
