Abstract

We measured the low-temperature ac magnetic susceptibilities (^', ^'', and ₃), static magnetization, and the specific heat of a high-quality single crystal of gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG), which is a geometrically frustrated Heisenberg magnet. We find a spin glass transition at low temperatures, in addition to unusual behavior in ^'' and ₃. Comparison to nonmagnetic isomorphs and the low levels of structural and chemical disorder in GGG suggests that the transition is due to the highly frustrated geometry of the magnetic lattice.
