Structural and dynamical features of multiple metastable glassy states in a colloidal system with competing interactions.
Systems in which a short-ranged attraction and long-ranged repulsion compete are intrinsically frustrated, leading their structure and dynamics to be dominated either by mesoscopic order or by metastable disorder. Here, we report the latter case in a colloidal system with long-ranged electrostatic repulsions and short-ranged depletion attractions. We find a variety of states exhibiting slow non...
متن کاملThe Cavity Approach for Metastable Glassy States Near Random First Order Phase Transitions
Ii is shown that trie cavity method developed to describe equilibrium states in trie mean-field Ising spin glass model con be generalized to describe metastable stores in trie mean-field Potts glass. Trie crucial input is trie existence of an extensive number of statistically similar but incongruent metastable states with a weighted Gaussian free energy distribution. It is argued that the inher...
متن کاملOn the lifetime of metastable states in self-gravitating systems
We discuss the physical basis of the statistical mechanics of self-gravitating systems. We show the correspondance between statistical mechanics methods based on the evaluation of the density of states and partition function and thermodynamical methods based on the maximization of a thermodynamical potential (entropy or free energy). We address the question of the thermodynamic limit of self-gr...
متن کاملMetastable states in a class of long-range Hamiltonian systems
We numerically show that metastable states, similar to the Quasi Stationary States found in the so called Hamiltonian Mean Field Model, are also present in a generalized model in which N classical spins (rotators) interact through ferromagnetic couplings decaying as r, where r is their distance over a regular lattice. Scaling laws with N are briefly discussed. PACS: 05.20-y, 05.70 Ln, 64.60 My ...
متن کاملMetastable States in Asynchronous Digital Systems: Avoidable or Unavoidable?1
The synchronization of asynchronous signals can lead to metastable behavior and malfunction of digital circuits. It is believed but not proved that metastability principally cannot be avoided. Confusion exists about its practical importance. This paper shows that metastable behavior can be avoided by usage of quantum synchronizers in principle, but not in practice, and that conventional synchro...
