The analysis of ac magnetic susceptibility data has shown that mechanically alloyed Fe 30 Ag 40 W 30 , a highly heterogeneous nanogranular system, exhibits critical dynamics in its transition to a low-temperature spin-glasslike phase, as proved by the power-law divergence of the relaxation time at T g ϭ19.7 K, and by the dynamic scaling behavior of the out-of-phase component of the susceptibility. Both analyses yielded a dynamic critical exponent zϭ10.2Ϯ0.9, confirming the existence of a spin-glass-like phase transition at T g , which, however, is not accompanied by the usual Mössbauer signature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
