Abstract
Dynamic scaling analyses of linear and nonlinear ac susceptibilities in a model magnet of the long-rang Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) Ising spin glass (SG) were examined. The obtained set of critical exponents, 1, 1, 2, and 3.4, indicates the SG phase transition belongs to a universality class different from that of either the canonical (Heisenberg) or short-range Ising SGs. The analyses also reveal a finite-temperature SG transition with the same critical exponents under a magnetic field and the phase-transition line described by , with 2. The crossover exponent obeys the scaling relation within the margin of errors. These results strongly suggest spontaneous replica-symmetry breaking (RSB) with a non- or marginal-mean-field universality class in the long-range RKKY Ising SG.
