We report on the analysis of mu SR and Mossbauer measurements of the metall
ic spin glasses Y(Fe0.65Al0.35)(2) and Y(Fe0.4Al0.6)(2) above the freezing
temperature (T-f) in terms of a model taking into account a dynamical proce
ss of stochastic formation and decay of magnetically correlated regions. By
this model a comparison of the autocorrelation function determined by the
two different measuring techniques is possible. For the temperature depende
nce of the autocorrelation time we find fair agreement between both experim
ents for T > 2T(f). (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
