Abstract:
We study by means of Monte Carlo simulations the off-equilibrium properties of a model glass, the frustrated Ising lattice gas in three dimensions. We have computed typical two times quantities, such as density-density autocorrelations and the autocorrelation of internal degrees of freedom. We find an aging scenario particularly interesting in the case of the density autocorrelations in real space that is very reminiscent of spin glass phenomenology. While this model captures the essential features of structural glass dynamics, its analogy with spin glasses may make possible its complete description using the tools developed in spin glass theory.
