Abstract
The dynamical magnetic properties of an Ising spin glass Fe$_{0.55}$Mn$_{0.45}$TiO$_3$ are studied under various magnetic fields. Having determined the temperature and static field dependent relaxation time $Ï(T;H)$ from ac magnetization measurements under a dc bias field by a general method, we first demonstrate that these data provide evidence for a spin-glass (SG) phase transition only in zero field. We next argue that the data $Ï(T;H)$ of finite $H$ can be well interpreted by the droplet theory which predicts the absence of a SG phase transition in finite fields.
