Abstract

Aging phenomena have been studied in very different materials like polymers, supercooled liquids or disordered orientational crystals. We recall here the main features of aging in spin glasses, and use this example of magnetic systems as a guideline for the description of the others. A particular attention is put on the sensitivity of aging to the cooling rate and to temperature variations. This allows us to point out differences between temperature specific processes, yielding ``rejuvenation and memory effects'' as known in spin glasses, and domain growth processes, giving cumulative contributions at different temperatures. The relevance of wall depinning processes to rejuvenation and memory effects is discussed at the light of recent results on disordered ferromagnets.

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.

Memory and rejuvenation in spin glasses: aging systems are ruled by more than one length scale

Janus Collaboration, Marco Baity‐Jesi, E. Calore +22 more

Memory and rejuvenation effects in the magnetic response of off-equilibrium spin glasses have been widely regarded as the doorway into the experimental exploration of ultrametricity and temperature chaos (maybe the most exotic features in glassy free-energy landscapes). Unfortunately, despite more than twenty years of theoretical efforts following the experimental discovery of memory and rejuvenation, these effects have thus far been impossible to simulate reliably. Yet, three recent developments convinced us to accept this challenge: first, the custom-built Janus II supercomputer makes it possible to carry out "numerical experiments" in which the very same quantities that can be measured in single crystals of CuMn are computed from the simulation, allowing for parallel analysis of the simulation/experiment data. Second, Janus II simulations have taught us how numerical and experimental length scales should be compared. Third, we have recently understood how temperature chaos materializes in aging dynamics. All three aspects have proved crucial for reliably reproducing rejuvenation and memory effects on the computer. Our analysis shows that (at least) three different length scales play a key role in aging dynamics, while essentially all theoretical analyses of the aging dynamics emphasize the presence and the crucial role of a single glassy correlation length.

Rejuvenation and Memory in Migdal-Kadanoff Spin Glasses

Miwa Sasaki, Olivier Martin

We study aging phenomena of Migdal-Kadanoff spin glasses in order to clarify relevancy of temperature chaos to rejuvenation and memory. By exploiting renormalization, we do efficient dynamical simulations in very wide time/length scales including the chaos length. As a consequence, we find that temperature chaos and temperature dependence of speed of equilibration cause two significantly different effects against temperature variations, i.e., rejuvenation for positive temperature variation and memory for negative temperature variation, as are observed experimentally in spin glasses.

Full Aging in Spin Glasses

G. F. Rodriguez, G. G. Kenning, R. Orbach

The discovery of dynamic memory effects in the magnetization decays of spin glasses in 1983 marked a turning point in the study of the highly disordered spin glass state. Detailed studies of the memory effects have led to much progress in understanding the qualitative features of the phase space. Even so, the exact nature of the magnetization decay functions has remained elusive, causing confusion. In this Letter, we report strong evidence that the thermoremanent magnetization decays scale with the waiting time t(w). By employing a series of cooling protocols, we demonstrate that the rate at which the sample is cooled to the measuring temperature plays a major role in the determination of scaling. As the effective cooling time t(eff)(c) decreases, t/t(w) scaling improves and for t(eff)(c)<20 s we find almost perfect t/t(w) scaling, i.e., full aging.

Edwards-Anderson spin glasses undergo simple cumulative aging

A. Maiorano, Enzo Marinari, Federico Ricci‐Tersenghi

We study and discuss rejuvenation and memory (numerical) experiments in Ising and Heisenberg three and four dimensional spin glasses. We introduce a quantitative procedure to analyze the results of temperature cycling experiments. We also run, compare, and discuss ``twin'' couples of experiments. We find that in our systems aging is always cumulative in nature, and rejuvenation and memory effects are also cumulative: they are very different from the ones observed in experiments on spin glass materials.

Spin Systems far from Equilibrium: Aging and Dynamic Phase Transition

Hyunhang Park

Among the many non-equilibrium processes encountered in nature we deal with two different but related aspects. One is the non-equilibrium relaxation process that is at the origin of \'aging phenomena••, and the other one is a non-equilibrium phase transition, called ••dynamic phase transition••. One of the main purposes of our research is to explore more realistic situations than studied previously. Indeed, in the study of aging phenomena certain kinds of disorder effects are considered, and we introduce the ••surface•• as a spatial boundary to the system undergoing the dynamic phase transition. In order to observe these processes as clearly as possible, we study in both cases simple spin systems. Using Monte Carlo simulations we first investigate aging in three-dimensional Ising spin glasses as well as in two-dimensional Ising models with disorder quenched to low temperatures. The time-dependent dynamical correlation length L(t) is determined numerically and the scaling behavior of various two-time quantities as a function of L(t)/L(s) is discussed where t and s are two different times. For disordered Ising models deviations of L(t) from algebraic growth law show up. The generalized scaling forms as a function of L(t)/L(s) reveal a generic simple aging scenario for Ising spin glasses as well as for disordered Ising ferromagnets. We also study the local critical phenomena at a dynamic phase transition by means of numerical simulations of kinetic Ising models with surfaces subjected to a periodic oscillating field. We examine layer-dependent quantities, such as the period-averaged magnetization per layer Q(z) and the layer susceptibility ¥ö(z), and determine local critical exponents through finite size scaling. Both for two and three dimensions, we find that the values of the surface exponents differ from those of the equilibrium critical surface. It is revealed that the surface phase diagram of the non-equilibrium system is not identical to that of the equilibrium system in three dimensions.
