Three-Dimensional Ising Spin Glasses and Ergodicity Breaking

Nicolas Sourlas

Published Jul 15, 1988• 20 citations

Abstract

We performed a numerical simulation of the three-dimensional nearest-neighbour Ising spin glass with J = ±1, using the microcanonical ensemble method. We found that, at very low temperature, and for very long times (as long as we could measure) the system behaves as if ergodicity was broken.

Dynamical Behaviour of Three-Dimensional Ising Spin Glasses

Nicolas Sourlas

We present the results of a numerical simulation of a three-dimensional nearest-neighbour J = ± 1 Ising spin glass model, and show strong evidence for the existence of many states at low temperature. The internal energy, the magnetization and the Edwards-Anderson order parameter are found to be self-averaging and state independent, while characteristic times are not. We also find strong evidence for 1/ f magnetic noise.

Three-dimensional Ising spin-glasses and mean-field theory

Nicolas Sourlas

The results of a simulation of a three-dimensional nearest neighbour Ising spin-glass are presented and compared with mean-field theory predictions. It is found that the order parameter P(q) has a similar behaviour in the short-range coupling and in the infinite-range coupling model.

The Ising Spin Glass and Phase Space Geometry

Ian A. Campbell, L. de Arcangelis

Through “damage spreading” numerical simulations, we study the Ising spin glass in three dimensions with ± J near-neighbour interactions. The results are compared to other simulation data; we conclude that the damage spreading method can provide good estimates of the transition temperatures in this type of system. A discussion is given of phase transitions in spin glasses in terms of the geometry of phase space.

We performed numerical simulations of 2D and 3D Edwards-Anderson spin glass models by using the recently developed multicanonical ensemble. Our ergodicity times increase with the lattice size approximately as $V^3$ . The energy, entropy and other physical quantities are easily calculable at all temperatures from a single simulation. Their finite size scalings and the zero temperature limits are also explored.We performed numerical simulations of 2D and 3D Edwards-Anderson spin glass models by using the recently developed multicanonical ensemble.

Nature of Ergodicity Breaking in Ising Spin Glasses as Revealed by Correlation Function Spectral Properties

Jairo Sinova, Geoffrey Canright, Allan H. MacDonald

In this Letter we address the nature of broken ergodicity in the low temperature phase of Ising spin glasses by examining spectral properties of spin correlation functions C(ij) identical with<S(i)S(j)>. We argue that more than one extensive [i.e., O(N)] eigenvalue in this matrix signals replica symmetry breaking. Monte Carlo simulations of the infinite-range Ising spin-glass model, above and below the Almeida-Thouless line, support this conclusion. Exchange Monte Carlo simulations for the short-range model in four dimensions find a single extensive eigenvalue and a large subdominant eigenvalue consistent with droplet model expectations.In this Letter we address the nature of broken ergodicity in the low temperature phase of Ising spin glasses by examining spectral properties of spin correlation functions C(ij) identical with<S(i)S(j)>.

Dynamics of three-dimensional Ising spin glasses in thermal equilibrium

Andrew T. Ogielski

I present an analysis of the dynamic behavior of short-range Ising spin glasses observed in stochastic simulations. The time dependence of the order parameter q(t)=〈 ${S}_{x}$ (0) ${S}_{x}$ (t)〉\ifmmode\bar\else\textasciimacron\fi{}---which is the same as that of the structure factor---and the time dependence of the related dynamic correlation functions have been recorded with good statistics and very long observation times. The spin-glass model with a symmetric distribution of discrete nearest-neighbor \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}J interactions on a simple-cubic lattice was used. Simulations were performed with a special fast computer, allowing for the first-time investigation of the equilibrium dynamics for a wide range of temperatures (0.7\ensuremath{\le}kT/J\ensuremath{\le}5.0) and lattice sizes ( ${8}^{3}$ , ${16}^{3}$ , ${32}^{3}$ , and ${64}^{3}$ ). I have found that the empirical formula q(t)=${\mathrm{ct}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}x}$exp(-\ensuremath{\omega}${t}^{\ensuremath{\beta}}$) with temperature-dependent exponents x(T) and \ensuremath{\beta}(T) describes the decay very well at all temperatures above the spin-glass transition. In the spin-glass phase, only the algebraic decay q(t)=${\mathrm{ct}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}x}$ could be observed, with different temperature dependences of the exponent x(T). The dynamic scaling hypothesis and finite-size scaling explain well the observed temperature and size dependence of the data, and the functional form of the correlation functions is com- patible with the scaling form if corrections to scaling are taken into account. The scaling behavior and the dynamic and static critical exponents found in my simulations are in reasonable agreement with recent experiments performed on insulating spin glasses, showing that despite its simplicity the discrete model of spin glasses analyzed in this work displays behavior similar to that seen in nature.I present an analysis of the dynamic behavior of short-range Ising spin glasses observed in stochastic simulations.
