Nonequilibrium Dynamics and Aging in the Three--Dimensional Ising Spin Glass Model
The low temperature dynamics of the three dimensional Ising spin glass in
zero field with a discrete bond distribution is investigated via MC
simulations. The thermoremanent magnetization is found to decay algebraically
and the temperature dependent exponents agree very well with the experimentally
determined values. The nonequilibrium autocorrelation function shows
a crossover at the waiting (or {\em aging}) time from algebraic {\em
quasi-equilibrium} decay for times to another, faster algebraic
decay for with an exponent similar to one for the remanent
magnetization.Comment: Revtex, 11 pages + 4 figures (included as Latex-files
Aging dynamics in reentrant ferromagnet: CuCoCl-FeCl graphite bi-intercalation compound
Aging dynamics of a reentrant ferromagnet
CuCoCl-FeCl graphite bi-intercalation compound has
been studied using AC and DC magnetic susceptibility. This compound undergoes
successive transitions at the transition temperatures ( K) and
( K). The relaxation rate exhibits a characteristic
peak at close to a wait time below , indicating that
the aging phenomena occur in both the reentrant spin glass (RSG) phase below
and the ferromagnetic (FM) phase between and . The
relaxation rate () in the FM phase
exhibits two peaks around and a time much shorter than under
the positive -shift aging, indicating a partial rejuvenation of domains. The
aging state in the FM phase is fragile against a weak magnetic-field
perturbation. The time () dependence of around is well approximated by a stretched exponential relaxation:
. The exponent depends on
, , and . The relaxation time () exhibits a
local maximum around 5 K, reflecting a chaotic nature of the FM phase. It
drastically increases with decreasing temperature below .Comment: 16 pages,16 figures, submitted to Physical Review
New directions for lifelong learning using network technologies
Please refer only to original source: Koper, R., Tattersall, C. (2004). New directions for lifelong learning using network technologies. British Journal of Educational Technology, 35 (6), 689-700.The requirements placed on learning technologies to support lifelong learning differ considerably from those placed on technologies to support particular fragments of a learning lifetime. The time scales involved in lifelong learning, together with its multi-institutional and episodic nature are not reflected in today’s mainstream learning technologies and their associated architectures. The article presents an integrated model and architecture to serve as the basis for the realization of networked learning technologies serving the specific needs and characteristics of lifelong learners. The integrative model is called a “Learning Network” (LN) and its requirements and architecture are explored, together with the ways in which its application can help in reducing barriers to lifelong learning
Fluctuation Dissipation Ratio in Three-Dimensional Spin Glasses
We present an analysis of the data on aging in the three-dimensional Edwards
Anderson spin glass model with nearest neighbor interactions, which is well
suited for the comparison with a recently developed dynamical mean field
theory. We measure the parameter describing the violation of the
relation among correlation and response function implied by the fluctuation
dissipation theorem.Comment: LaTeX 10 pages + 4 figures (appended as uuencoded compressed

Aging Relation for Ising Spin Glasses
We derive a rigorous dynamical relation on aging phenomena -- the aging
relation -- for Ising spin glasses using the method of gauge transformation.
The waiting-time dependence of the auto-correlation function in the
zero-field-cooling process is equivalent with that in the field-quenching
process. There is no aging on the Nishimori line; this reveals arguments for
dynamical properties of the Griffiths phase and the mixed phase. The present
method can be applied to other gauge-symmetric models such as the XY gauge
glass.Comment: 9 pages, RevTeX, 2 postscript figure
Extraction of the Spin Glass Correlation Length
The peak of the spin glass relaxation rate, S(t)=d{-M_{TRM}(t,t_w)}/H/{d ln
t}, is directly related to the typical value of the free energy barrier which
can be explored over experimental time scales. A change in magnetic field H
generates an energy E_z={N_s}{X_fc}{H^2} by which the barrier heights are
reduced, where X_{fc} is the field cooled susceptibility per spin, and N_s is
the number of correlated spins. The shift of the peak of S(t) gives E_z,
generating the correlation length, Ksi(t,T), for Cu:Mn 6at.% and
CdCr_{1.7}In_{0.3}S_4. Fits to power law dynamics, Ksi(t,T)\propto
{t}^{\alpha(T)} and activated dynamics Ksi(t,T) \propto {ln t}^{1/psi} compare
well with simulation fits, but possess too small a prefactor for activated
dynamics.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures. Department of Physics, University of California,

Dynamics of ghost domains in spin-glasses
We revisit the problem of how spin-glasses ``heal'' after being exposed to
tortuous perturbations by the temperature/bond chaos effects in
temperature/bond cycling protocols. Revised scaling arguments suggest the
amplitude of the order parameter within ghost domains recovers very slowly as
compared with the rate it is reduced by the strong perturbations. The parallel
evolution of the order parameter and the size of the ghost domains can be
examined in simulations and experiments by measurements of a memory
auto-correlation function which exhibits a ``memory peak'' at the time scale of
the age imprinted in the ghost domains. These expectations are confirmed by
Monte Calro simulations of an Edwards-Anderson Ising spin-glass model.Comment: 17 pages, 3 figure
Off-equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation relations in the 3d Ising Spin Glass in a magnetic field
We study the fluctuation-dissipation relations for a three dimensional Ising
spin glass in a magnetic field both in the high temperature phase as well as in
the low temperature one. In the region of times simulated we have found that
our results support a picture of the low temperature phase with broken replica
symmetry, but a droplet behavior can not be completely excluded.Comment: 9 pages, 11 ps figures, revtex. Final version to be published in

Static chaos and scaling behaviour in the spin-glass phase
We discuss the problem of static chaos in spin glasses. In the case of
magnetic field perturbations, we propose a scaling theory for the spin-glass
phase. Using the mean-field approach we argue that some pure states are
suppressed by the magnetic field and their free energy cost is determined by
the finite-temperature fixed point exponents. In this framework, numerical
results suggest that mean-field chaos exponents are probably exact in finite
dimensions. If we use the droplet approach, numerical results suggest that the
zero-temperature fixed point exponent is very close to
. In both approaches is the lower critical dimension in
agreement with recent numerical simulations.Comment: 28 pages + 6 figures, LateX, figures uuencoded at the end of fil
Numerical Study of Aging in the Generalized Random Energy Model
Magnetizations are introduced to the Generalized Random Energy Model (GREM)
and numerical simulations on ac susceptibility is made for direct comparison
with experiments in glassy materials. Prominent dynamical natures of spin
glasses, {\it i.e.}, {\em memory} effect and {\em reinitialization}, are
reproduced well in the GREM. The existence of many layers causing continuous
transitions is very important for the two natures. Results of experiments in
other glassy materials such as polymers, supercooled glycerol and orientational
glasses, which are contrast to those in spin glasses, are interpreted well by
the Single-layer Random Energy Model.Comment: 8 pages, 9 figures, to be submitted to J. Phys. Soc. Jp
