Slow non-equilibrium dynamics (original) (raw)

Lecture Notes in Physics

Abstract

Many systems (among them glasses, rubber, spin glasses...) show at low temperature a very slow approach to equilibrium. A very interesting phenomenon is the following: if the temperature is decreased fast enough, the system goes into an amorphous state that has practically infinite mean life; moreover under very slow cooling some of these systems go into an ordered crystal phase. The crystal phase does not exist in general, it exists only if the parameters of the interactions among the atoms are intentionally chosen in such way this phase is energetically ...
