The stability of the spin-glass phase against a magnetic field is studied in the three- and four-dimensional Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glasses. Effective couplings J(eff) and effective fields H(eff) associated with length scale L are measured by a numerical domain-wall renormalization-group method. The results obtained by scaling analysis of the data strongly indicate the existence of a crossover length beyond which the spin-glass order is destroyed by field H. The crossover length well obeys a power law of H which diverges as H --> 0 but remains finite for any nonzero H, implying that the spin-glass phase is absent even in an infinitesimal field. These results are well consistent with the droplet theory for short-range spin glasses.
在三维和四维的爱德华兹 - 安德森伊辛自旋玻璃中研究了自旋玻璃相对磁场的稳定性。通过数值畴壁重整化群方法测量了与长度尺度L相关的有效耦合J(eff)和有效场H(eff)。对数据进行标度分析得到的结果有力地表明存在一个交叉长度,超过这个长度,自旋玻璃序会被磁场H破坏。交叉长度很好地遵循H的幂律,当H→0时发散,但对于任何非零的H都保持有限,这意味着即使在无限小的磁场中也不存在自旋玻璃相。这些结果与短程自旋玻璃的液滴理论非常一致。
