Domain growth by aging in nonequilibrium two-dimensional random Ising systems

Abstract
The ac susceptibility in the two-dimensional Ising spin glass Rb2 Cu0.67 Co0.33 F4 and the two-dimensional random-exchange Ising ferromagnet Rb2 Cu0.89 Co0.11 F4 is observed to relax towards equilibrium on a time scale of hours following fast quenching to 3.9 K. Scaling of the in-phase and out-of-phase susceptibilities yields that the ordered domains grow according to (lnt)1/ψ, with t expressed in units of a microscopic time, and ψ=1.07±0.10 and 0.20±0.05, respectively. Both values are in agreement with recent theoretical results and numerical simulations.
