Abstract: | The field (H) dependence of the muon longitudinal spin-lattice relaxation rate well below the spin glass temperature inAgMn is found to obey an algebraic form given by (H)v–1 withv=0.54±0.05. This suggests that Mn spin correlations decay with time ast–v, in agreement with mean field theories of spin-glass dynamics which yieldv0.5. Near the glass temperature the agreement between the data and theory is not as good.We are grateful to C.E. Olsen for preparing the samples, C. Boekema, S.A. Dodds, G.A. Gist, R.L. Hutson, S.L. Rudaz and A. Yaouanc for help during the experiments and to D.L. Huber and R.E. Walstedt for useful discussions.
