Low-temperature dynamics of spin glasses: Walking in the energy landscape
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyse the relationship between dynamics and configuration space structure of Ising spin glass systems. The exact knowledge of the structure of the low–energy landscape is used to study the relaxation of the system by random walk in the configuration space. The influence of the size of the valleys, clusters and energy barriers and the connectivity between them on the spin correlation function is shown.

Temperature evolution and bifurcations of metastable states in mean-field spin glasses, with connections with structural glasses
The correlations of the free-energy landscape of mean-field spin glasses at different temperatures are investigated, concentrating on models with a first-order freezing transition. Using a ‘potential function’ we follow the metastable states of the model in temperature, and discuss the possibility of level crossing (which we do not find) and multifurcation (which we find). The dynamics at a giv...
متن کاملAging , rejuvenation and memory phenomena in spin glasses
In this paper, we review several important features of the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of spin glasses. Starting with the simplest experiments, we discuss the scaling laws used to describe the isothermal aging observed in spin glasses after a quench down to the low temperature phase. We report in particular new results on the sub-aging behaviour of spin glasses. We then discuss the rejuvenation...
متن کاملSpin-glass approach to low-temperature anomalies in glasses
We discuss a spin-glass-type approach to the physics of structural glasses, which leads to a class of models that exhibit both glassy low-temperature phases and doubleand single-well configurations in their potential energy landscape. The low-temperature anomalies characteristic of amorphous systems are reproduced, and within our model the universality issue can be illuminated. We consider the ...
متن کاملRole of free energy landscape in the dynamics of mean field glassy systems
In this paper we expose the results of our recent work on the dynamical TAP approach to mean field glassy systems. Our aim is to clarify the connection between free energy landscape and out of equilibrium dynamics in solvable models. Frequently qualitative explanations of glassy behaviour are based on the “Free Energy Landscape Paradigm”. If its relevance for equilibrium properties is clear, th...
متن کاملPotential energy landscape of finite-size mean-field models for glasses
– We analyze the properties of the energy landscape of finite-size fully connected spin-glass models with a discontinuous transition. In the thermodynamic limit the equilibrium properties in the high-temperature phase are described by the schematic mode coupling theory of super-cooled liquids. We show that finite-size fully connected spin-glass models do exhibit properties typical of Lennard-Jo...
