We first reproduce on the Janus and Janus II computers a milestone experiment that measures the spin-glass coherence length through the lowering of free-energy barriers induced by the Zeeman effect. Secondly we determine the scaling…
Molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the connection between thermal history and physical aging in polymer glasses, in particular the effects of a temperature square step. Measurements of two-time correlation functions show…
Cycling of a metallic glass between ambient and cryogenic temperatures can induce higher-energy states characteristic of glass formation on faster cooling. This rejuvenation, unexpected because it occurs at small macroscopic strains and…
The growth of the spin-glass correlation length has been measured as a function of the waiting time $t_{\mathrm{w}}$ on a single crystal of CuMn (6 at.\%), reaching values $\xi\sim 150$ nm, larger than any other glassy correlation-length…
Temperature chaos plays a role in important effects, like for example memory and rejuvenation, in spin glasses, colloids, polymers. We numerically investigate temperature chaos in spin glasses, exploiting its recent characterization as a…
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…
The non-equilibrium dynamics of three paradigmatic models for two-dimensional systems with quenched disorder is studied with a focus on the existence and analysis of a growing length scale during aging at low temperatures: 1) The random…
Systems brought out of equilibrium through a rapid quench from a disordered initial state into an ordered phase undergo physical aging in the form of phase-ordering kinetics, with characteristic dynamical scaling. In many systems, notably…
In Phys. Rev. Lett. 91 167206 (2003), Sun et al. study memory effects in an interacting nanoparticle system with specific temperature and field protocols. The authors claim that the observed memory effects originate from spin-glass dynamics…
The relaxation dynamics of many disordered systems, such as structural glasses, proteins, granular materials or spin glasses, is not completely frozen even at very low temperatures. This residual motion leads to a change of the properties…
We show that there are several striking parallels between the dynamics of gelatin gels and spin glasses. In general, glassy systems retain a memory of their past history. A key characteristic differentiating spin glasses from most other…
We study the field cooled magnetization of a CuMn spin glass under temperature perturbations. The $T$-cycling curves are compared with the reference curve without temperature cycling. There is a crossover from the cumulative aging region to…
Effect of initial conditions on aging properties of the spin-glass state is studied for a single crystal Cu:Mn 1.5 at %. It is shown that memory of the initial state, created by the cooling process, remains strong on all experimental time…
Spin glasses are a longstanding model for the sluggish dynamics that appears at the glass transition. However, spin glasses differ from structural glasses for a crucial feature: they enjoy a time reversal symmetry. This symmetry can be…
Isothermal simulational data for the 3D Edwards-Anderson spin glass are collected at several temperatures below $T_{\rm c}$ and, in analogy with a recent model of dense colloidal suspensions,interpreted in terms of clusters of contiguous…
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 unveil the multifractal behavior of Ising spin glasses in their low-temperature phase. Using the Janus II custom-built supercomputer, the spin-glass correlation function is studied locally. Dramatic fluctuations are found when pairs of…
We study the effect of physical aging on the mechanical properties of a model polymer glass using molecular dynamics simulations. The creep compliance is determined simultaneously with the structural relaxation under a constant uniaxial…
The discovery of memory effects in the magnetization decays of spin glasses in 1983 began a large effort to determine the exact nature of the decay. While qualitative arguments have suggested that the decay functions should scale as…
The temperature dependence of the magnetisation of a Cu(Mn) spin glass ($T_g$ $\approx$ 57 K) has been investigated using weak probing magnetic fields ($H$ = 0.5 or 0 Oe) and specific thermal protocols. The behaviour of the zero-field…
