Experimental test of curvature-driven dynamics in the phase ordering of a two dimensional liquid crystal
Alberto Sicilia, Jeferson J. Arenzon, Ingo Dierking +5
We study electric field driven deracemization in an achiral liquid crystal through the formation and coarsening of chiral domains. It is proposed that deracemization in this system…
Free energy landscapes, dynamics and the edge of chaos in mean-field models of spin glasses
T. Aspelmeier, R. A. Blythe, A. J. Bray +1
Metastable states in Ising spin-glass models are studied by finding iterative solutions of mean-field equations for the local magnetizations. Two different equations are studied: t…
Mechanism for the failure of the Edwards hypothesis in the SK spin glass
P. R. Eastham, R. A. Blythe, A. J. Bray +1
The dynamics of the SK model at T=0 starting from random spin configurations is considered. The metastable states reached by such dynamics are atypical of such states as a whole, i…

On the Use of Finite-Size Scaling to Measure Spin-Glass Exponents
A. C. Carter, A. J. Bray, M. A. Moore
Finite-size scaling (FSS) is a standard technique for measuring scaling exponents in spin glasses. Here we present a critique of this approach, emphasizing the need for all length…
