Zero-temperature responses of a 3D spin glass in a magnetic field - art. no. 197204

We probe the energy landscape of the 3D Edwards-Anderson spin glass in a ma gnetic field to test for a spin glass ordering, We find that the spin glass susceptibility is anomalously large on the lattice sizes we can reach. Our data suggest that a transition from the spin glass to the paramagnetic pha se takes place at B-c approximate to 0.65, though the possibility B-c = 0 c annot be excluded. We also discuss the question of the nature of the putati ve frozen phase.
