Thin-film multilayered spin-glass CuMn/Cu structures display glassy dynamics. The freezing temperaturewas measured for 40 layers of CuMn films of thickness, and 20.0 nm, sandwiched between nonmagnetic Cu layers of thicknessnm. The Kenning effect,, is shown to follow from power-law dynamics where the correlation length grows from nucleation as, leading to. Here,is the bulk spin-glass temperature,andare constants determined from the spin-glass dynamics,is the time for the correlation length to grow to the film thickness,is a characteristic exchange time, andis the average Mn-Mn separation. For, the magnetization dynamics are simple activated, with a single activation energy Δmax(L)/kBTg=(1/c2)[ln(L/a0)−lnc1] that does not change with time. Values for all these parameters are found for the three values ofexplored in these measurements. We find experimentally, 1246, and 1650 K, respectively, for the three CuMn thin-film multilayer thicknesses, consistent with power-law dynamics. We perform a similar analysis based on the activated dynamics of the droplet model and find a much larger spread forthan found experimentally.
