Abstract
We present SQUID measurements of the nonlinear susceptibilitynl of "pure" CuMn and CuMn doped with gold impurities with concentrations CAu of 1, 2, and 3 at.%. Gold impurities suppress the magnitude of nl. Ordinary one-parameter scaling with respect to field and temperature is obeyed by nl of the pure CuMn. However, strong deviations from this scaling behavior are observed in the gold-doped samples in the vicinity of the freezing temperature and in low fields, H<H* where H* increases with c. This is interpreted as the onset of an anisotropy-induced crossover from a Heisenberg to an Ising spin-glass critical behavior.
