Study of Chirality in the Two-Dimensional XY Spin Glass

We study the chirality in the Villain form of the XY spin glass in two--dimensions by Monte Carlo simulations. We calculate the chiral-glass correlation length exponent $ν_{\scriptscriptstyle CG}$ and find that $ν_{\scriptscriptstyle CG} = 1.8 \pm 0.3$ in reasonable agreement with earlier studies. This indicates that the chiral and phase variables are decoupled on long length scales and diverge as $T \to 0$ with {\em different} exponents, since the spin-glass correlation length exponent was found, in earlier studies, to be about 1.0.

Absence of a Phase Transition in a Three--Dimensional Vortex Glass Model with Screening

We study the gauge glass model for the vortex glass transition in type--II superconductors, including screening of the interaction between vortices. {}From the size dependence of the domain wall energy we find that, in two--dimensions, the transition is at $T=0$ both with and without screening but the exponents are different in the two cases. In three-dimensions, we find that screening destroys the finite temperature transition found earlier when screening was neglected.
