Magnetic susceptibility of the spin-glass with the itinerant-electron antiferromagnet as a host

Abstract

The magnetic susceptibility of the spin-glass state that may appear in an itinerant-electron antiferromagnet containing magnetic impurities has been calculated as a function of the temperature. The spin–spin interaction mediated by the condensed electrons has been calculated and a short-range interaction of the form (cos 2k0r/r2)e−r/ξ0 has been obtained. A percolation mechanism has been used in order to explain the occurrence of the spin-glass state.
