Aging Rate of Spin Glasses from Simulations Matches Experiments.

ABSTRACT

Experiments on spin glasses can now make precise measurements of the exponent z(T) governing the growth of glassy domains, while our computational capabilities allow us to make quantitative predictions for experimental scales. However, experimental and numerical values for z(T) have differed. We use new simulations on the Janus II computer to resolve this discrepancy, finding a time-dependent z(T,t_{w}), which leads to the experimental value through mild extrapolations. Furthermore, theoretical insight is gained by studying a crossover between the T=T_{c} and T=0 fixed points.
