Glassy Dynamics in a Frustrated Spin System: Role of Defects
نویسندگان
چکیده
In an eeort to understand the glass transition, the kinetics of a spin model with frustration but no quenched randomness has been analyzed. The phenomenology of the spin model is remarkably similar to that of structural glasses. Analysis of the model suggests that defects play a major role in dictating the the dynamics as the glass transition is approached.

Entropy-vanishing transition and glassy dynamics in frustrated spins.
In an effort to understand the glass transition, the dynamics of a nonrandomly frustrated spin model has been analyzed. The phenomenology of the spin model is similar to that of a supercooled liquid undergoing the glass transition. The slow dynamics can be associated with the presence of extended stringlike structures which demarcate regions of fast spin flips. An entropy-vanishing transition, ...
متن کاملGlassy Dynamics in a Model without Disorder: Spin Analog of a Structural Glass
We have analyzed a non-randomly frustrated spin model which exhibits behavior remarkably similar to the phenomenology of structural glasses. The high-temperature disordered phase undergoes a strong first-order transition to a long-range ordered structure. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we have studied the behavior of the supercooled state by quenching to temperatures below this transition tempe...

To understand the origin of the dynamical transition, between high-temperature exponential relaxation and low-temperature nonexponential relaxation, that occurs well above the static transition in glassy systems, a frustrated spin model, with and without disorder, is considered. The model has two phase transitions, the lower being a standard spin glass transition (in the presence of disorder) o...
متن کاملFast Relaxation Time in a Spin Model with Glassy Behavior
We consider a frustrated spin model with a glassy dynamics characterized by a slow component and a fast component in the relaxation process. The slow process involves variables with critical behavior at finite temperature Tp and has a global character like the (structural) α-relaxation of glasses. The fast process has a more local character and can be associated to the β-relaxation of glasses. ...
متن کاملRelaxation Spectra at the Glass Transition: Origin of Power Laws
We propose a simple dynamical model of the glass transition based on the results from a non-randomly frustrated spin model which is known to form a glassy state below a characteristic quench temperature. The model is characterized by a multi-valleyed free-energy surface which is modulated by an overall curvature. The transition associated with the vanishing of this overall curvature is reminisc...
