By calculating an appropriately defined spin-overlap distribution function, we show that the finite-temperature chiral-glass transition does not accompany the standard spin-glass order, giving support to the spin-chirality decoupling picture. Critical behavior of the chiral-glass transition turns out to be different from that of the Ising spin glass. The chiral-glass ordered state exhibits a one-step-like peculiar replica-symmetry breaking.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-06-27T03:23:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "three-dimensional xy spin glass", "extensive monte carlo simulations", "finite-temperature chiral-glass transition", "appropriately defined spin-overlap distribution function", "standard spin-glass order" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
