History-dependent phenomena in the transverse Ising ferroglass: The free-energy landscape

An error occurred while generating the citation.

Abstract

In this paper we investigate the relationship between glassy and ferromagnetic phases in disordered Ising ferromagnets in the presence of transverse magnetic fields, Γ. Iterative mean-field simulations probe the free-energy landscape and suggest the existence of a glass transition as a function of Γ which is distinct from the Curie temperature. Experimental field-cooled and zero-field-cooled data on LiHo_xY_(1-x)F_4 provide support for our theoretical picture. Here as well we present a collection of theoretical predictions for future experiments.
