Abstract

The random-field Ising model (RFIM) system $\ab{Fe}_{0.42}\ab{Zn}_{0.58}\ab{F}_2$ is studied by magnetization and dynamic susceptibility measurements, under finite dc applied fields (H). For $H < 20\un{kOe}$ , the magnetic behaviour is compatible with a long-range ordered (LRO) antiferromagnetic (AF) ground state, which undergoes a phase transition (PT) at a critical temperature $T_\ab{c}(H)$ . For higher H, the LRO configuration becomes unstable and the PT is destroyed. A glassy dynamics emerges in the upper part of the (H,T) phase diagram. Our results reconcile earlier concepts associated with the weak RFIM problem with recent experimental data in $\ab{Fe}_x\ab{Zn}_{1-x}\ab{F}_2$ .
