Time decay of the remanent magnetization in the +/-J spin glass model at T=0

Abstract:
Using the zero-temperature Metropolis dynamics, the time decay of the remanent magnetization in the +/-J Edward-Anderson spin glass model with a uniform random distribution of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions has been investigated. Starting from the saturation, the magnetization per spin m reveals a slow decrease with time, which can be approximated by a power law: m(t)=m(infinity)+(t/a(0))(a(1)), a(1)<0. Moreover, its relaxation does not lead it into one of the ground states, and therefore the system is trapped in metastable isoenergetic microstates remaining magnetized. Such behavior is discussed in terms of a random walk that the system performs on its available configuration space.

Atomic Nuclei: Types of Nuclear Relaxation
In spin–lattice or longitudinal relaxation, the excited spins exchange energy with the surrounding lattice as they return to the lower energy level. Among several mechanisms that contribute to spin–lattice relaxation, magnetic dipolar interactions are significant. Here, the excited nucleus transfers energy to a nearby...
