Glassy Crystals Low-frequency and Low-temperature Properties a
Glasses are amorphous like liquids, but are rigid like crystals. To a chemist, this may seem natural: silicon dioxide, when covalently bonded into a well-relaxed random network, should resist deformations as an elastic solid just as it would in a crystalline network. To a theoretical physicist, this is more mysterious. What broken symmetry’ causes the rigidity‘! Of course, the chemist may in th...
متن کاملLow-Energy Universality in Atomic and Nuclear Physics
An effective field theory developed for systems interacting through short-range interactions can be applied to systems of cold atoms with a large scattering length and to nucleons at low energies. It is therefore the ideal tool to analyze the universal properties associated with the Efimov effect in threeand four-body systems. In this progress report, we will discuss recent results obtained wit...
متن کاملRandom Matrix Approach to Glassy Physics: Low Temperatures and Beyond
A random matrix approach to glassy physics is introduced. It leads to a class of models that exhibit both glassy low-temperature phases and doubleand single-well configurations in their potential energy. The distribution of parameters characterizing the local potential energy configurations can be computed, and differ from those assumed in the standard tunneling model and its variants. Still, l...
متن کاملPhysics of glassy systems
In this talk I present some of the recent theoretical results that have been obtained on glassy systems like spin glasses or structural glasses. The physical principles at the basis of the theory are explained in a simple language (without using replicas) and the results are compared with large scale numerical simulations. Finally we introduce the generalized fluctuation dissipation relation th...
متن کاملGrand challenges in low-temperature plasma physics
INTRODUCTION A plasma is a hot ionized gas and classification of this fourth state of matter can be initially done using the basic concept of temperature. A prime example is the Sun which exhibits a very hot plasma in its core with temperatures of about 1.5 × 107 K (a result of fusion reactions with a proton density of ∼1026 cm−3) and cooler surface temperatures of about 6000 K [1]: the Solar w...
