Abstract: We reexamine the spin glass (SG) phase transition of the pmJ Heisenberg models with and without the random anisotropy D in three dimensions (d=3) using complementary two methods, i.e., (i) the defect energy method and (ii) the Monte Carlo method. We reveal that the conventional defect energy method is not convincing and propose a new method which considers the stiffness of the lattice itself. Using the method, we show that the stiffness exponent heta has a positive value (heta>0) even when D=0. Considering the stiffness at finite temperatures, we obtain the SG phase transition temperature of TmSGsim0.19J for D=0. On the other hand, a large scale MC simulation shows that, in contrary to the previous results, a scaling plot of the SG susceptibility chimSG for D=0 is obtained using almost the same transiton temperature of TmSGsim0.18J. Hence we believe that the SG phase transition occurs in the Heisenberg SG model in d=3.
