Temperature chaos and bond chaos in Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glasses: domain-wall free-energy measurements.
Domain-wall free energy sigmaF, entropy sigmaS, and the correlation function C(temp) of sigmaF are measured independently in the four-dimensional +/-J Edwards-Anderson (EA) Ising spin glass. The stiffness exponent theta, the fractal dimension of domain walls d(s), and the chaos exponent zeta are extracted from the finite-size scaling analysis of sigmaF, sigmaS, and C(temp), respectively, well inside the spin-glass phase. The three exponents are confirmed to satisfy the scaling relation zeta = d(s)/2 - theta derived by the droplet theory within our numerical accuracy. We also study bond chaos induced by random variation of bonds, and find that the bond and temperature perturbations yield the universal chaos effects described by a common scaling function and the chaos exponent. These results strongly support the appropriateness of the droplet theory for the description of chaos effect in the EA Ising spin glasses.
