Published Dec 1, 1988• 7 citations

Abstract

Recent experiments on the non-equilibrium dynamics of spin glasses are reviewed. The experiments are discussed within a physical picture based on recent domain pictures of the spin glass phase introduced by Fisher and Huse, and by Koper and Hilhorst.

Non-equilibrium dynamics in spin glasses

Leif Lundgren

Some recent experiments on the non‐equilibrium dynamics in two‐ and three‐dimensional spin glasses are reviewed. The experimental results are discussed within new domain (droplet) theories of the spin glass phase. It is found that the experiments convincingly verify some fundamental concepts of these theories. Especially, it is shown that if a spin glass has been ‘‘aged’’ at constant temperature and afterwards subjected to a persistent temperature shift or a temperature cycling, the dynamics are governed by an interplay between the growth of spin glass domains and the overlap length, which is the maximum length scale where equilibrium spin correlations at two nearby temperatures are indistinguishable.

Time and length scales in spin glasses

Ludovic Berthier, A. P. Young

We discuss the slow, nonequilibrium, dynamics of spin glasses in their glassy phase. We briefly review the present theoretical understanding of the spectacular phenomena observed in experiments and describe new numerical results obtained in the first large-scale simulation of the nonequilibrium dynamics of the three-dimensional Heisenberg spin glass.

Some recent results concerning phase transitions in spin glasses

A. P. Young

I give an introduction to spin glasses, including a short discussion of experiments and theoretical concepts. I then discuss recent results from Monte Carlo simulation about two topics (i) the transition in a Heisenberg spin glass, and (ii) the transition in a magnetic field (Almeida-Thouless line) for an Ising spin glass.

This review updates the field of spin glasses with broad application to a large variety of physical systems. In particular, this review tracks the progress of experiment, theory, and large-scale simulations. It highlights the importance of their synergy, from the inception of the field to the present day, and includes future opportunities for research.

Aging, memory and rejuvenation: some lessons from simple models

Florent Krząkała, Federico Ricci‐Tersenghi

Many recent experiments probed the off equilibrium dynamics of spin glasses and other glassy systems through temperature cycling protocols, and observed memory and rejuvenation phenomena. Here we show through numerical simulations, using powerful algorithms, that such features can already be observed to some extent in simple models such as two dimensional ferromagnets. We critically discuss these results and review some aspects of the literature in the light of our findings.

The experimental status on the question of a phase transition in spin glasses

Gwyn Williams

Following a brief introduction to spin-glass systems, the current status of experimental evidence on the occurrence of a phase transition is reviewed. Recent analyses of dynamical properties of spin glasses are discussed in terms of several model predictions, including the conclusion of a divergent relaxation time τ at a finite temperature, although with large, non-mean-field indices z and v. The role of regular terms (leading to corrections to scaling) in the nonlinear response are reviewed, stressing their influence on the evaluation of the susceptibility and order-parameter exponents γ′ and β′.
