Relaxations in spin glasses: Similarities and differences from ordinary glasses
Abstract
Relaxation phenomena have become a major concern in the physics of spin glasses. There are certain resemblances of these relaxation properties to those of ordinary glasses. In this work, we compare the relaxation properties of spin glasses near the freezing temperature with those of glasses near the glass transition temperature. There are similarities between the two types of glasses. Moreover, the relaxation properties of many glasses and spin glasses are in conformity with two coupled ‘‘universality’’ relations predicted by a recent model of relaxations in condensed matter.
