The Mpemba effect occurs when a hot system cools faster than an initially colder one, when both are refrigerated in the same thermal reservoir. Using the custom built supercomputer Janus II, we study the Mpemba effect in spin glasses and show that it is a non-equilibrium process, governed by the coherence length xi of the system. The effect occurs when the bath temperature lies in the glassy phase, but it is not necessary for the thermal protocol to cross the critical temperature. In fact, the Mpemba effect follows from a strong relationship between the internal energy and xi that turns out to be a sure-tell sign of being in the glassy phase. Thus, the Mpemba effect presents itself as an intriguing new avenue for the experimental study of the coherence length in supercooled liquids and other glass formers.

We report a novel singularity in the hysteresis of spin glasses, the reversal-field memory effect, which creates a non-analyticity in the magnetization curves at a particular point related to the history of the sample. The origin of the effect is due to the existence of a macroscopic number of symmetric clusters of spins associated with a local spin-reversal symmetry of the Hamiltonian. We use First Order Reversal Curve (FORC) diagrams to characterize the effect and compare to experimental results on thin magnetic films. We contrast our results on spin glasses to random magnets and show that the FORC technique is an effective magnetic fingerprinting tool.
We introduce an efficient dynamical tree method that enables us, for the first time, to explicitly demonstrate thermo-remanent magnetization memory effect in a hierarchical energy landscape. Our simulation nicely reproduces the nontrivial waiting-tim e and waiting-temperature dependences in this non-equilibrium phenomenon. We further investigate the condensation effect, in which a small set of micro-states dominates the thermodynamic behavior, in the multi-layer trap model. Importantly, a structural phase transition of the tree is shown to coincide with the onset of condensation phenomenon. Our results underscore the importance of hierarchical structure and demonstrate the intimate relation between glassy behavior and structure of barrier trees.
Low temperature properties of glasses are derived within a generalized tunneling model, considering the motion of charged particles on a closed path in a double-well potential. The presence of a magnetic induction field B violates the time reversal i nvariance due to the Aharonov-Bohm phase, and leads to flux periodic energy levels. At low temperature, this effect is shown to be strongly enhanced by dipole-dipole and elastic interactions between tunneling systems and becomes measurable. Thus, the recently observed strong sensitivity of the electric permittivity to weak magnetic fields can be explained. In addition, superimposed oscillations as a function of the magnetic field are predicted.

Puzzling observations of both thermal and dielectric responses in multi-silicate glasses at low temperatures $T$ to static magnetic fields $B$ have been reported in the last decade and call for an extension of the standard two-level systems tunneling model. An explanation is proposed, capable of capturing at the same time the $T$- and $B$-dependence of the specific heat $C_p$ and of the dielectric constant $epsilon$ in these glasses. This theory points to the existence of anomalous multi-welled tunneling systems in the glasses -- alongside the standard two-level systems -- and indications are given for glasses which should achieve larger electric magnetocapacitive enhancements.
We present a mean field model for spin glasses with a natural notion of distance built in, namely, the Edwards-Anderson model on the diluted D-dimensional unit hypercube in the limit of large D. We show that finite D effects are strongly dependent on the connectivity, being much smaller for a fixed coordination number. We solve the non trivial problem of generating these lattices. Afterwards, we numerically study the nonequilibrium dynamics of the mean field spin glass. Our three main findings are: (i) the dynamics is ruled by an infinite number of time-sectors, (ii) the aging dynamics consists on the growth of coherent domains with a non vanishing surface-volume ratio, and (iii) the propagator in Fourier space follows the p^4 law. We study as well finite D effects in the nonequilibrium dynamics, finding that a naive finite size scaling ansatz works surprisingly well.
