Relaxation at late stages in an entropy barrier model for glassy systems
arXiv:cond-mat/9707343 · doi:10.1088/0305-4470/30/19/010
Abstract
The ground state dynamics of an entropy barrier model proposed recently for describing relaxation of glassy systems is considered. At stages of evolution the dynamics can be described by a simple variant of the Ehrenfest urn model. Analytical expression for the relaxation times from an arbitrary state to the ground state is derived. Upper and lower bounds for the relaxation times as a function of system size are obtained.
