Numerical simulations reveal low-energy excitations in 3D spin glasses. These excitations, with minimal energy cost, support the mean-field theory

Area of Science:

  • Condensed matter physics
  • Statistical mechanics

Background:

  • Spin glasses exhibit complex magnetic behavior.
  • Understanding excitations is crucial for characterizing spin glass phases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To numerically compute excitations in three-dimensional spin glasses.
  • To investigate the nature and energy cost of these excitations.
  • To compare numerical findings with the mean-field theory predictions.

Main Methods:

  • Numerical computation of excitations in LxLxL lattices.
  • Analysis of energy costs for flipping finite fractions of the lattice.
  • Characterization of excitation topology and spatial extent.

Main Results:

  • A finite fraction of the lattice can be flipped with an O(1) energy cost.

  • This finding supports the mean-field theory's prediction of a nontrivial spin overlap distribution P(q).
  • Low-energy excitations are topologically nontrivial, extending to lattice boundaries, unlike domain-wall-like excitations.

    • Conclusions:

    • The computed excitations confirm key aspects of the mean-field theory for 3D spin glasses.
    • The topological nature and boundary-reaching property of excitations are significant findings.
    • As lattice size increases, surface-to-volume ratios of excitations may vanish, simplifying overlap measures.
