Environment Overwhelms both Nature and Nurture in a Model Spin Glass
Jie Yang, A. Alan Middleton
The microscopic dependence of glassy equilibration on sample history, both the initial configuration and the specific sequence of random noise, is examined. The temporal evolution…
Configuration Memory in Patchwork Dynamics for Low-dimensional Spin Glasses
Jie Yang, A. Alan Middleton
A patchwork method is used to study the dynamics of loss and recovery of an initial configuration in spin glass models in dimensions d=1 and d=2. The patchwork heuristic is used to…
Minimal spanning trees at the percolation threshold: a numerical calculation
Sean M. Sweeney, A. Alan Middleton
The fractal dimension of minimal spanning trees on percolation clusters is estimated for dimensions up to . A robust analysis technique is developed for correlated data, a…
Which measures of spin-glass overlaps are informative?
A. Alan Middleton
The nature of equilibrium states in disordered materials is often studied using an overlap function P(q), the probability of two configurations having similarity q. Exact sampling…
Statistics of static avalanches in a random pinning landscape
Pierre Le Doussal, A. Alan Middleton, Kay Joerg Wiese
We study the minimum-energy configuration of a d-dimensional elastic interface in a random potential tied to a harmonic spring. As a function of the spring position, the center of…
Persistence and Memory in Patchwork Dynamics for Glassy Models
Creighton K. Thomas, Olivia L. White, A. Alan Middleton
Slow dynamics in disordered materials prohibits direct simulation of their rich nonequilibrium behavior at large scales. "Patchwork dynamics" is introduced to mimic relaxation over…
