[en] Neutron scattering experiments have been performed on a spin-glass CuMn (5 at. %, T/sub g/ = 27.6 K). Polarized neutron measurements with coarse energy resolution show no change of instantaneous spatial spin correlation below T = 60 K. Unpolarized neutron studies with fine energy resolution (ΔE = 260 μeV) demonstrate that the slowing down of Mn spin fluctuations occur in the same way for all the wave vectors between 0.2 and 4.0 A^-1. These results indicate that the spatial and dynamic spin correlations are completely decoupled in the spin freezing process. We also study the short-range spatial correlation of the ''frozen'' spins at T = 5 K using a simple model, and demonstrate the importance of the ferromagnetic coupling between the third nearest-neighbor Mn moments
