Abstract

We study the angular dependence of the field-cooled susceptibility χeq of Fe2TiO5, a spin-glass with a strong uniaxial anisotropy, by rotating the measuring field H→ with respect to the cooling field H→c. Unlike the behavior found in classical spin-glasses (i) the anisotropy in χeq depends on the direction of H→c and (ii) the irreversible magnetization does not rotate with H→. The de Almeida-Thouless line is identified via the field and temperature dependence of the anisotropy in χeq.
