Abstract

The three-dimensional Ising spin-glass in zero field with nearest-neighbor interactions having \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}J distribution is studied by Monte Carlo simulations for samples of linear dimension L with 3\ensuremath{\le}L\ensuremath{\le}20. Results for the probability distribution, ${\mathrm{P}}_{\mathrm{L}}$(q), of the spin-glass order parameter are analyzed by finite-size scaling. Data for T\ensuremath{\ge}1.2 are consistent with a conventional phase transition at ${\mathrm{T}}_{\mathrm{c}}$${=1.2}_{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}0.2}^{+0.1}$, with exponents \ensuremath{\nu}=1.3\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.3 and \ensuremath{\eta}=-0.3\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.2. However, results at lower temperature indicate marginal behavior and suggest that the lower critical dimensional is close to three.
