Phase transitions between different spin-glass phases and between different chaoses in quenched random chiral systems
(Amer Physical Soc., 2017)
The left-right chiral and ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic double-spin-glass clock model with the crucially even number of states q = 4 and in three dimensions d = 3 has been studied by renormalization-group theory. We find ...
