There are many materials whose dielectric properties are described by a stretched exponential, the so-called Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts (KWW) relaxation function. Its physical origin and statistical-mechanical foundation have been a matter of debate in the literature. In this paper we suggest a model of dielectric relaxation, which naturally leads to a stretched exponential decay function. Some essential characteristics of the underlying charge conduction mechanisms are considered. A kinetic description of the relaxation and charge transport processes is proposed in terms of equations with time-fractional derivatives.

We study the effect of rapid quench to zero temperature in a model with competing interactions, evolving through conserved spin dynamics. In a certain regime of model parameters, we find that the model belongs to the broader class of kinetically cons trained models, however, the dynamics is different from that of a glass. The system shows stretched exponential relaxation with the unusual feature that the relaxation time diverges as a power of the system size. Explicitly, we find that the spatial correlation function decays as $exp(-2r/sqrt{L})$ as a function of spatial separation $r$ in a system with $L$ sites in steady state, while the temporal auto-correlation function follows $exp(-(t/tau_L)^{1/2})$, where $t$ is the time and $tau_L$ proportional to $L$. In the coarsening regime, after time $t_w$, there are two growing length scales, namely $mathcal{L}(t_w) sim t_w^{1/2}$ and $mathcal{R}(t_w) sim t_w^{1/4}$; the spatial correlation function decays as $exp(-r/ mathcal{R}(t_w))$. Interestingly, the stretched exponential form of the auto-correlation function of a single typical sample in steady state differs markedly from that averaged over an ensemble of initial conditions resulting from different quenches; the latter shows a slow power law decay at large times.
Relaxation in glasses is often approximated by a stretched-exponential form: $f(t) = A exp [-(t/tau)^{beta}]$. Here, we show that the relaxation in a model of sheared non-Brownian suspensions developed by Corte et al. [Nature Phys. 4, 420 (2008)] can be well approximated by a stretched exponential with an exponent $beta$ that depends on the strain amplitude: $0.25 < beta < 1$. In a one-dimensional version of the model, we show how the relaxation originates from density fluctuations in the initial particle configurations. Our analysis is in good agreement with numerical simulations and reveals a functional form for the relaxation that is distinct from, but well approximated by, a stretched-exponential function.
This paper is concerned with the connection between the properties of dielectric relaxation and ac (alternating-current) conduction in disordered dielectrics. The discussion is divided between the classical linear-response theory and a self-consisten t dynamical modeling. The key issues are, stretched exponential character of dielectric relaxation, power-law power spectral density, and anomalous dependence of ac conduction coefficient on frequency. We propose a self-consistent model of dielectric relaxation, in which the relaxations are described by a stretched exponential decay function. Mathematically, our study refers to the expanding area of fractional calculus and we propose a systematic derivation of the fractional relaxation and fractional diffusion equations from the property of ac universality.

We propose an atomistic model for correlated particle dynamics in liquids and glasses predicting both slow stretched-exponential relaxation (SER) and fast compressed-exponential relaxation (CER). The model is based on the key concept of elastically i nteracting local relaxation events. SER is related to slowing down of dynamics of local relaxation events as a result of this interaction, whereas CER is related to the avalanche-like dynamics in the low-temperature glass state. The model predicts temperature dependence of SER and CER seen experimentally and recovers the simple, Debye, exponential decay at high temperature. Finally, we reproduce SER to CER crossover across the glass transition recently observed in metallic glasses.
The relaxation of the specific heat and the entropy to their equilibrium values is investigated numerically for the three-dimensional Coulomb glass at very low temperatures. The long time relaxation follows a stretched exponential function, $f(t)=f_0 exp[-(t/tau)^beta]$, with the exponent $beta$ increasing with the temperature. The relaxation time follows an Arrhenius behavior divergence when $Tto 0$. A relation between the specific heat and the entropy in the long time regime is found.
