Many dense magnetic nanoparticle systems exhibit slow dynamics which is qualitatively indistinguishable from that observed in atomic spin glasses and its origin is attributed to dipole interactions among particle moments (or superspins).…
Spin glasses are notoriously difficult to study both analytically and numerically due to the presence of frustration and metastability. Their highly non-convex landscapes require collective updates to explore efficiently. Currently, most…

We numerically analyse the landscape governing the evolution of the vibrational dynamics of hard disk glasses as the density increases towards jamming. We find that the dynamics becomes slow, spatially correlated, and starts to display…
Glasses possess complex energy landscapes and exhibit non-equilibrium aging dynamics. Here, we propose a generalized trap model for activated aging based on a key static property of the energy landscape: the distribution of energy barriers.…
