Noisy Classical Field Theories with Two Coupled Fields: Dependence of Escape Rates on Relative Field Stiffnesses
Lan Gong, D. L. Stein
Exit times for stochastic Ginzburg-Landau classical field theories with two or more coupled classical fields depend on the interval length on which the fields are defined, the pote…
A nanoscale transistor based on gate-induced stochastic transitions
J. Bürki, C. A. Stafford, D. L. Stein
A nanoscale device consisting of a metal nanowire, a dielectric, and a gate is proposed. A combination of quantum and thermal stochastic effects enable the device to have multiple…
The Escape Problem in a Classical Field Theory With Two Coupled Fields
Lan Gong, D. L. Stein
We introduce and analyze a system of two coupled partial differential equations with external noise. The equations are constructed to model transitions of monovalent metallic nanow…
Uniqueness of Ground States for Short-Range Spin Glasses in the Half-Plane
Louis-Pierre Arguin, Michael Damron, Charles Newman +1
We consider the Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glass model on the half-plane with zero external field and a wide range of choices, including mean zero Gaussian, for the…
Theory of metastability in simple metal nanowires
J. Bürki, C. A. Stafford, D. L. Stein
Thermally induced conductance jumps of metal nanowires are modeled using stochastic Ginzburg-Landau field theories. Changes in radius are predicted to occur via the nucleation of s…
Spin Glasses: Still Complex After All These Years?
D. L. Stein
Spin glasses are magnetic systems exhibiting both quenched disorder and frustration, and have often been cited as examples of `complex systems.' In this talk I review some of the b…
