How glasses explore configuration space

چکیده
We review a statistical picture of the glassy state derived from the analysis of the off-equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation relations. We define an ultralong-time limit where ‘one-time quantities’ are close to equilibrium while the response and correlation can still display ageing. In this limit it is possible to relate the fluctuation response relation to static breaking of ergodicity. The resulting picture suggests that even far from that limit, the fluctuation-dissipation ratio relates to the rate of growth of the configurational entropy with the free-energy density.

Description Theory and Approach about Space Syntax Methodology in Urban Design Process
Nowadays space is considered to be a net of connections between different areas. The questions how to delineate its character and how it is possible to objectively compare two spaces is a matter under consideration. This was the reason for creating new theories about the structure of space. Space syntax analysis (SSA) or simply Space Syntax defines a number of theories and research areas devo...
متن کاملLow-temperature dynamics of spin glasses: Walking in the energy landscape
We analyse the relationship between dynamics and configuration space structure of Ising spin glass systems. The exact knowledge of the structure of the low–energy landscape is used to study the relaxation of the system by random walk in the configuration space. The influence of the size of the valleys, clusters and energy barriers and the connectivity between them on the spin correlation functi...
متن کاملConfiguration Memory in Patchwork Dynamics for Low-dimensional Spin Glasses
A patchwork method is used to study the dynamics of loss and recovery of an initial configuration in spin glass models in dimensions d = 1 and d = 2. The patchwork heuristic is used to accelerate the dynamics to investigate how models might reproduce the remarkable memory effects seen in experiment. Starting from a ground state configuration computed for one choice of nearest neighbor spin coup...
متن کاملLine defects and tunnelling modes in glasses
A theory of glasses at low temperatures is presented. The structure of glasses contains topologically stable Z2 line defects in continuous random networks, they are uninterrupted lines threading through oddnumbered rings of bonds which are represented as punctures in an otherwise continuous space. The overall homogeneity (stationary random structure) of the glass is formulated as gauge invarian...
متن کاملLearning the Voronoi Centers of a Mobile Robot’s Configuration Space
Partitioning the configuration space of a mobile robot is essential for the robot path planning task. However, most existing techniques either rely upon precise geometrical descriptions of the environment, or are static by nature. In this paper we propose a method by which the robot dynamically builds a Voronoi tessellation of its configuration space. In order to do this, we apply an adaptive -...
