Anomalously Soft Droplets and Aging in Short-ranged Spin Glasses

Abstract

We extend the standard droplet scaling theory for isothermal aging in spin glasses assuming that the effective stiffness constant of droplets as large as extended defects is vanishingly small. A novel dynamical order parameter and the associated dynamical susceptibility emerge. Breaking of the fluctuation dissipation theorem takes place at the dynamical order parameter well below the equilibrium Edwards-Anderson order parameter at which the time translational invariance is strongly broken. The scenario is examined numerically in a 4 dimensional EA Ising spin glass model.

Extended droplet theory for aging in short-range spin glasses and a numerical examination

Hajime Yoshino, Koji Hukushima, Hajime Takayama

We analyze isothermal aging of a four-dimensional Edwards-Anderson model in detail by Monte Carlo simulations. We analyze the data in the view of an extended version of the droplet theory proposed recently which is based on the original droplet theory plus conjectures on the anomalously soft droplets in the presence of domain walls. We found that the scaling laws including some fundamental predictions of the original droplet theory explain our results well. The results of our simulation strongly suggest the separation of the breaking of the time translational invariance and the fluctuation dissipation theorem in agreement with our scenario.

Numerical Study on Aging Dynamics in the 3D Ising Spin-Glass Model. II. Quasi-Equilibrium Regime of Spin Auto-Correlation Function

達雄 小森, Hajime Yoshino, Hajime Takayama

Using Monte Carlo simulations, we have studied isothermal aging of three-dimensional Ising spin-glass model focusing on quasi-equilibrium behavior of the spin auto-correlation function. Weak violation of the time translational invariance in the quasi-equilibrium regime is analyzed in terms of {\it effective stiffness} for droplet excitations in the presence of domain walls. Within the range of computational time window, we have confirmed that the effective stiffness follows the expected scaling behavior with respect to the characteristic length scales associated with droplet excitations and domain walls, whose growth law has been extracted from our simulated data. Implication of the results are discussed in relation to experimental works on ac susceptibilities.

NUMERICAL STUDY ON AGING DYNAMICS IN THE 3D ISING SPIN-GLASS MODEL — QUASI-EQUILIBRIUM BEHAVIOR OF SPIN AUTO-CORRELATION FUNCTIONS

H. TAKAYAMA, Hajime Yoshino, T. KOMORI

Using Monte Carlo simulations, we have studied aging phenomena in three-dimensional Gaussian Ising spin-glass model focusing on quasi-equilibrium behavior of the spin auto-correlation functions. Weak violation of the time translational invariance in the quasi-equilibrium regime is analyzed in terms of effective stiffness for droplet excitations in the presence of domain walls. The simulation results not only in isothermal aging but also in T-shift aging process. T-shift aging processes exhibit the expected scaling behavior with respect to the characteristic length scales associated with droplet excitations and domain walls in spite of the fact that the growth law for these length scales still shows a pre-asymptotic behavior compared with the asymptotic form proposed by the droplet theory. Implications of our simulational results are also discussed in relation to experimental observations.

Numerical Study of Aging Phenomena in Short-Ranged Spin Glasses

Koji Hukushima, Hajime Yoshino, Hajime Takayama

Aging phenomena of short-range Ising spin glass models have been investigated using Monte Carlo simulations. It is found that in the low-temperature spin-glass phase the mean domain size exhibits a crossover from a power-law growth associated with the critical fluctuation at the transition temperature to slower growth inherent in the low-temperature phase. The temperature dependence of the growth law of the domain size can be almost explained by this crossover. We also find that the spin-autocorrelation function in the quasi-equilibrium regime follows the expected scaling behavior from the droplet theory expressed in terms of the mean domain size and a characteristic length scale of droplet excitations. Spin glasses (SG) exhibit characteristic slow dynamics below the SG transition temperature. 1)-3) Recently such slow dynamics, in particular aging phenomena, has been much attractive both in experimental and theoretical studies.

Numerical Study on Aging Dynamics in the 3D Ising Spin-Glass Model. I. Energy Relaxation and Domain Coarsening

達雄 小森, Hajime Yoshino, Hajime Takayama

Using Monte Carlo simulations, we have studied the relaxation of energy of the three-dimensional Ising spin-glass model in aging process. Our finite-size-scaling analysis on the isothermal energy decay after the quench suggests strongly that the energy relaxes by coarsening of domain walls in agreement with the droplet theory. We have also evaluated relaxation times required for spin configurations in small systems, which are regarded as isolated droplets, to flip globally. The results support the fundamental assumption of the droplet theory that coarsening of domain walls, in case of spin glasses, is driven by successive nucleation of thermally activated droplets.
