Nonvanishing spin-glass transition temperature of the ±J XY model in three dimensions -: art. no. 184417

A three-dimensional +/-J XY spin-glass model is investigated using the nonequilibrium relaxation method. We have introduced a criterion for the finite-time-scaling analysis. The transition temperature is estimated by a crossing point of the obtained data. The scaling analysis of the relaxation functions of the spin-glass susceptibility and the chiral-glass susceptibility shows that both transitions occur simultaneously. The result is checked by the relaxation functions of the Binder parameters and the glass correlation lengths of the spin and the chirality. All results are consistent if we consider that the transition is driven by the spin degrees of freedom.
