We use a nonequilibrium Monte Carlo simulation method and dynamical scaling to study the phase transition in three-dimensional Ising spin glasses. The transition point is repeatedly approached at finite velocity v (temperature change versus time) in Monte Carlo simulations starting at a high temperature. This approach has the advantage that the equilibrium limit does not have to be strictly reached for a scaling analysis to yield critical exponents. For the dynamic exponent we obtain z=5.85(9) for bimodal couplings distribution and z=6.00(10) for the Gaussian case. Assuming universal dynamic scaling, we combine the two results and obtain z=5.93±0.07 for generic 3D Ising spin glasses.We use a nonequilibrium Monte Carlo simulation method and dynamical scaling to study the phase transition in three-dimensional Ising spin glasses.

Configuration memory in patchwork dynamics for low-dimensional spin glasses

Jie Yang, A. Alan Middleton

A patchwork method is used to study the dynamics of loss and recovery of an initial configuration in spin glass models in dimensions $d=1$ and $d=2$ . The patchwork heuristic is used to accelerate the dynamics to investigate how models might reproduce the remarkable memory effects seen in experiment. Starting from a ground-state configuration computed for one choice of nearest-neighbor spin couplings, the sample is aged up to a given scale under new random couplings, leading to the partial erasure of the original ground state. The couplings are then restored to the original choice and patchwork coarsening is again applied, in order to assess the recovery of the original state. Eventual recovery of the original ground state upon coarsening is seen in two-dimensional Ising spin glasses and one-dimensional clock models, while one-dimensional Ising spin systems neither lose nor gain overlap with the ground state during the recovery stage. The recovery for the two-dimensional Ising spin glasses suggests scaling relations that lead to a recovery length scale that grows as a power of the aging length scale.A patchwork method is used to study the dynamics of loss and recovery of an initial configuration in spin glass models in dimensions $d=1$ and $d=2$.

An experiment-oriented analysis of 2D spin-glass dynamics: a twelve time-decades scaling study

Abstract Recent high precision experimental results on spin-glass films ask for a detailed understanding of the domain-growth dynamics of two-dimensional spin glasses. To achieve this goal, we numerically simulate the out-equilibrium dynamics of the Ising spin glass for a time that spans close to twelve orders of magnitude (from picoseconds to order of a second), in systems large enough to avoid finite-size effects. We find that the time-growth of the size of the glassy domains is excellently described by a single scaling function. A single time-scale controls the dynamics. diverges upon approaching the T = 0 critical point. The divergence of is Arrhenius-like, with a barrier height that depends very mildly on temperature. The growth of this barrier-height is best described by critical dynamics. As a side product we obtain an impressive confirmation of universality of the equilibrium behavior of two-dimensional spin-glasses.Abstract Recent high precision experimental results on spin-glass films ask for a detailed understanding of the domain-growth dynamics of two-dimensional spin glasses.
