Aging dynamics of ferromagnetic and reentrant spin glass phases in stage-2 CuCCl graphite intercalation compound
Aging dynamics of a reentrant ferromagnet stage-2
CuCoCl graphite intercalation compound has been studied
using DC magnetic susceptibility. This compound undergoes successive
transitions at the transition temperatures ( K) and
( K). The relaxation rate exhibits a
characteristic peak at below . The peak time as a
function of temperature shows a local maximum around 5.5 K, reflecting a
frustrated nature of the ferromagnetic phase. It drastically increases with
decreasing temperature below . The spin configuration imprinted at the
stop and wait process at a stop temperature () during the
field-cooled aging protocol, becomes frozen on further cooling. On reheating,
the memory of the aging at is retrieved as an anomaly of the
thermoremnant magnetization at . These results indicate the occurrence
of the aging phenomena in the ferromagnetic phase () as well
as in the reentrant spin glass phase ().Comment: 9 pages, 9 figures; submitted to Physical Review
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
Orchestrating learning activities using the CADMOS learning design tool
This paper gives an overview of CADMOS (CoursewAre Development Methodology for Open instructional Systems), a graphical IMS-LD Level A & B compliant learning design (LD) tool, which promotes the concept of “separation of concerns” during the design process, via the creation of two models: the conceptual model, which describes the learning activities and the corresponding learning resources, and the flow model, which describes the orchestration of these activities. According to the feedback from an evaluation case study with 36 participants, reported in this paper, CADMOS is a user-friendly tool that allows educational practitioners to design flows of learning activities using a layered approach
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
Rejuvenation in the Random Energy Model
We show that the Random Energy Model has interesting rejuvenation properties
in its frozen phase. Different `susceptibilities' to temperature changes, for
the free-energy and for other (`magnetic') observables, can be computed
exactly. These susceptibilities diverge at the transition temperature, as
(1-T/T_c)^-3 for the free-energy.Comment: 9 pages, 1 eps figur
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,

Scaling Law and Aging Phenomena in the Random Energy Model
We study the effect of temperature shift on aging phenomena in the Random
Energy Model (REM). From calculation on the correlation function and simulation
on the Zero-Field-Cooled magnetization, we find that the REM satisfies a
scaling relation even if temperature is shifted. Furthermore, this scaling
property naturally leads to results obtained in experiment and the droplet
theory.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figures, to be submitted to J. Phys. Soc. Jp
Non-linear susceptibility in glassy systems: a probe for cooperative dynamical length scales
We argue that for generic systems close to a critical point, an extended
Fluctuation-Dissipation relation connects the low frequency non-linear (cubic)
susceptibility to the four-point correlation function. In glassy systems, the
latter contains interesting information on the heterogeneity and cooperativity
of the dynamics. Our result suggests that if the abrupt slowing down of glassy
materials is indeed accompanied by the growth of a cooperative length ell, then
the non-linear, 3 omega response to an oscillating field should substantially
increase and give direct information on the temperature (or density) dependence
of ell. The analysis of the non-linear compressibility or the dielectric
susceptibility in supercooled liquids, or the non-linear magnetic
susceptibility in spin-glasses, should give access to a cooperative length
scale, that grows as the temperature is decreased or as the age of the system
increases. Our theoretical analysis holds exactly within the Mode-Coupling
Theory of glasses.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures; a careful discussion of the spin-glass case in a

On the Out of Equilibrium Relaxation of the Sherrington - Kirkpatrick model
We derive analytical results for the large-time relaxation of the Sherrington
- Kirkpatrick model in the thermodynamic limit, starting from a random
configuration. The system never achieves local equilibrium in any fixed sector
of phase-space, but remains in an asymptotic out of equilibrium regime. We
propose as a tool, both numerical and analytical, for the study of the out of
equilibrium dynamics of spin-glass models the use of `triangle relations' which
describe the geometry of the configurations at three (long) different times.Comment: 42 Pages + 3 Figures upon reques
