Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 1919–1922 (1993)Quenching of the nonlinear susceptibility at a T=0 spin glass transitionReceived 17 May 1993; published in the issue dated 20 September 1993 LiHo0.167Y0.833F4 is a dilute dipolar-coupled Ising magnet with a spin glass transition which can be crossed with temperature T (Tg=0.13 K) or with an effective transverse field Γ(Γg=1 K at T=0). The nonlinear susceptibility contains a diverging component which dominates at T=98 mK, but disappears by 25 mK. At the same time, the onset of spin glass behavior in the dissipative linear susceptibility becomes sharper. We conclude that, contrary to theoretical expectations, quantum transitions can be qualitatively different from thermally driven transitions in real spin glasses. © 1993 The American Physical Society URL:
