SQUID measurements of the time decay of the thermoremanent magnetization (field-cooled in 1000 Oe) at long time scale, 102 < t < 105 s, are presented for MBE grown Cd0.50Mn0.50Te. We found that for both thin (32 Å) and thick (2500 Å) layers the spin-glass dynamics is characterized by a similar value of k = -(1/Tf)(dTf/dlogt) > 0.05, indicating the absence of the phase transition at nonzero temperature under the experimental conditions. |
