We consider dynamics of classical dimer models undergoing a phase transition to an ordered, frozen state. Relaxation processes are dominated by traps which are entropic in origin and can be traced to the locally jammed nature of the dimer…

Stress relaxation in crystalline solids is mediated by the formation and diffusion of defects. While it is well established how externally-generated stresses relax, through the proliferation and motion of dislocations in the lattice, it…
