Stretched exponential relaxation ($\exp{-(t/\tau)}^{\beta_K}$) is observed in a large variety of systems but has not been explained so far. Studying random walks on percolation clusters in curved spaces whose dimensions range from 2 to 7,…
We show that the low temperature ($T<0.5$ K) time dependent non-exponential energy relaxation of quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) compounds strongly differ according to the nature of their modulated ground state. For incommensurate ground…
