Chirality scenario of the spin-glass ordering

TL;DR

This paper discusses the chirality scenario as a fundamental explanation for the spin-glass transition in weakly anisotropic Heisenberg-like magnets, supported by recent numerical and experimental evidence.

Contribution

It provides a detailed account of the chirality scenario and its relevance to understanding spin-glass ordering, integrating recent findings.

Findings

Spin-glass order is primarily driven by chirality in weakly anisotropic Heisenberg magnets.

Recent numerical simulations support the chirality scenario.

Experimental results align with the chirality-driven transition model.

Abstract

Detailed account is given of the chirality scenario of experimental spin-glass transitions. In this scenario, the spin glass order of weakly anisotropic Heisenberg-like spin-glass magnets including canonical spin glasses are essentially chirality driven. Recent numerical and experimental results are discussed in conjunction with this scenario.
