50 years of spin glass theory
David Sherrington, Scott Kirkpatrick
In 1975, two papers were published that together sparked major new directions, conceptual, mathematical and practically applicable, in several previously disparate fields of scienc…
Beyond Ising SK: m-vector, Potts, p-spin, spherical, induced moment, random graphs
David Sherrington, Jairo de Almeida
This chapter introduces a variety of spin glass models, beyond the simple Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) version, that have led to enriched understanding and application.
Materials Physics and Spin Glasses
David Sherrington
Comparisons and analogies are drawn between materials ferroic glasses and conventional spin glasses, in terms of both experiment and theoretical modelling, with inter-system concep…
BZT:a soft pseudo-spin glass
David Sherrington
In an attempt to understand the origin of relaxor ferroelectricity, it is shown that interesting behaviour of the onset of non-ergodicity and of precursor nanodomains found in firs…
Modeling vitreous silica bilayers
Mark Wilson, Avishek Kumar, David Sherrington +1
We computer model a free-standing vitreous silica bilayer which has recently been synthesized and characterized experimentally in landmark work. Here we model the bilayer using a c…
Physics and Complexity: a brief spin glass perspective
David Sherrington
Complex macroscopic behaviour can arise in many-body systems with only very simple elements as a consequence of the combination of competition and inhomogeneity. This paper attempt…
