An analysis of the low-temperature behavior of the model convincingly shows that in the case of a weakly disordered samples there is realized an antiferromagnetic ordered state, while in the region of strong structural disorder the effects of random magnetic fields lead to the realization of a new phase state of the system with a complex domain structure consisting of antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic domains separated by regions of a spin-glass phase and characterized by a spinglass ground state.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-02-01T08:14:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "75.10.Jm", "75.50.Ee" ], "keywords": [ "random fields", "low-temperature behavior", "parallel-tempering method", "strong structural disorder", "spinglass ground state" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Physics of Metals and Metallography", "year": 2007, "month": "Dec", "volume": 104, "number": 6, "pages": 541 }, "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007PMM...104..541P" } } }
