Abstract
The field dependence of the critical divergence of (∂M / ∂T)H of zero-field cooled Fe0.7Mg0.3Cl2 agrees with scaling predictions for Fishman-Aharony realizations of the d = 3 random-field Ising model. The time dependence of the thermoremanent magnetization, due to cooling in a field H0, obeys a generalized decay law, µ(t) = a [In (t / r)] + b. It accounts for the spin relaxation crossing over from a domain wall mechanism to pure domain growth on increasing T and/or H0.
