Abstract

We carry out an analysis of the effect of a quenched magnetic field on the dynamics of the spherical Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin-glass model. We show that there is a characteristic time introduced by the presence of the field. First, for times sufficiently small the dynamic scenario of the zero field case-with aging effects-is reproduced. Second, for times larger than the characteristic time one sees equilibrium dynamics. This dynamical behaviour is reconciled with the geometry of the energy landscape of the model. We compare this behaviour with experimental observations at a finite applied field.

Evidence of aging in spin-glass mean-field models

Leticia F. Cugliandolo, Jorge Kurchan B, Félix Ritort

We study numerically the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the hypercubic cell spin glass in high dimensionalities. We obtain evidence of aging effects qualitatively similar both to experiments and to simulations of low-dimensional models. This suggests that the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model as well as other mean-field finite connectivity lattices can be used to study these effects analytically.

Nonequilibrium properties of Sherrington-Kirkpatric spin glass model

Kai-Cheng Zhang, 中国科学院物理研究所，北京 100190

Using Sherrington-Kirkpatric （SK） model we investigated the nonequilibrum properties of spin glass by dynamical Monte Carlo simulation. Our results revealed that the susceptibility in the weak field shows a cusp near the glass transition, while the specific heat shows a more broad transition. The aging and zero-field colding memory effect is also reproduced in our simulation, and the phenomena can be explained by energy relaxation. Our simulation also reveals that homogeneous SK model can not reproduce the exchange bias effect observed in the experiment.

Numerical study of the out-of-equilibrium phase space of a mean-field spin glass model

Andrea Baldassarri

We present a numerical study of the nonequilibrium dynamics of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model. We analyze the behavior of the system for different system sizes N and time scales t, in order to identify the correct out-of-equilibrium regime. We find evidence of aging behavior in the dynamics of the system, compatible with a weak-ergodicity breaking scenario. In addition, we obtain a pictorial characterization of the out-of-equilibrium phase space that presents some analogies with the hierarchy of states found in equilibrium.

Non-equilibrium Monte Carlo dynamics of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick mean field spin glass model

Andrea Baldassarri

We present a numerical study of the non-equilibrium dynamics of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model. We analize the overlap distribution between the configurations visited at the time t and in particular its scaling behaviour with the size of the system. We find two different non-equilibrium dynamical regimes. The first is a proper Out of Equilibrium Regime, that is the relevant regime for the dynamics of an infinite system. The second is an Intermediate Regime that separates the Out of Equilibrium Regime from equilibrium. After studying the crossover beetween the two regimes, we focus on the Out of Equilibrium Regime and we reveal some of the geometrical features of phase space. According to recent analitical work, we find that the asymptotic out of equilibrium energy density is the equilibrium one. The same happens to the staggered-magnetisation, suggesting there is a deep geometrical similarity between equilibrium and out of equilibrium configurations. A procedure, that we call clonation, shows that the dynamics follows sort of canyons, as opposed to a system of independent traps.

Numerical study of the dynamics of some long range spin glass models

Alain H. Billoire

We present results of a Monte Carlo study of the equilibrium dynamics of the one dimensional long-range Ising spin glass model. By tuning a parameter , this model interpolates between the mean field Sherrington–Kirkpatrick model and a proxy of the finite dimensional Edward-Anderson model. Activated scaling fits for the behavior of the relaxation time as a function of the number of spins N (Namely ) give values of that are not stable against inclusion of subleading corrections. Critical scaling ( ) gives more stable fits, at least in the non mean field region. We also present results on the scaling of the time decay of the critical remanent magnetization of the Sherrington–Kirkpatrick model, a case where the simulation can be done with quite large systems and that shows the difficulties in obtaining precise values for dynamical exponents in spin glass models.

Relaxational Modes and Aging in the Glauber Dynamics of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick Model

Hajime Yoshino, Koji Hukushima, Hajime Takayama

The relaxational modes and aging of the Glauber dynamics of the mean-field spin-glass model, SK model, are studied by a numerical diagonalization technique and Monte Carlo simulations. We found that the aging process of the model is understood as hierarchical growth of quasi-equilibrium domain in the phase-space. The fascinating features of aging effects of spin-glasses revealed by experiments 1) have arose much theoretical interest in recent years, which includes various phenomenologies 2) 3) , analytic predictions 4) and numerical simulations. 5) 6) In order to seek for concrete information to provide theoretical base, we study the relaxational
