Effect of spin-orbit scattering on the spin glass temperature

Stephen M. Goldberg, P.M. Levy

Abstract

It is commonly thought that non-magnetic impurities raise Tg by creating an anisotropic pair interaction between local moments. Here we show that in addition these spin-orbit scatterers directly affect the spin glass temperature by changing the isotropic coupling between spins. By considering the relative strengths of potential and spin-orbit scattering, we show why some impurities increase Tg while others lower it.
