Abstract
Using a capacity cell torquemeter we have investigated the aging effects on the form of the torque relaxation in a CuMn 5 % spin glass. The data show that in moderate fields the spin glass evolves strongly with waiting time after field change if prepared by zero field cooling (ZFC) followed by an applied field, or if measurements are performed after some other variation of the magnetic field strength. After cooling in constant field (FC) the relaxation rate does not depend on the waiting time after cooling.
