We have simulated energy relaxation and equilibrium dynamics in Coulomb Glasses using the random energy lattice model. We show that in a temperature range where the Coulomb Gap is already well developed, (T=0.03-0.1) the system still relaxes to an equilibrium behavior within the simulation time scale. For all temperatures T, the relaxation is slower than exponential. Analyzing the energy correlations of the system at equilibrium, we find a stretched exponential behavior. We define a time tau_gamma from these stretched exponential correlations, and show that this time corresponds well with the time required to reach equilibrium. From our data it is not possible to determine whether tau_gamma diverges at any finite temperature, indicating a glass transition, or whether this divergence happens at zero temperature. While the time dependence of the system energy can be well fitted by a random walker in a harmonic potential for high temperatures (T=10), this simple model fails to describe the long time scales observed at lower temperatures. Instead we present an interpretation of the configuration space as a structure with fractal properties, and the time evolution as a random walk on this fractal-like structure.

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.
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.
We study random walks on the dilute hypercube using an exact enumeration Master equation technique, which is much more efficient than Monte Carlo methods for this problem. For each dilution $p$ the form of the relaxation of the memory function $q(t)$
can be accurately parametrized by a stretched exponential $q(t)=exp(-(t/tau)^beta)$ over several orders of magnitude in $q(t)$. As the critical dilution for percolation $p_c$ is approached, the time constant $tau(p)$ tends to diverge and the stretching exponent $beta(p)$ drops towards 1/3. As the same pattern of relaxation is observed in wide class of glass formers, the fractal like morphology of the giant cluster in the dilute hypercube is a good representation of the coarse grained phase space in these systems. For these glass formers the glass transition can be pictured as a percolation transition in phase space.
The decay rate of aftershocks has been modeled as a power law since the pioneering work of Omori in the late nineteenth century. Considered the second most fundamental empirical law after the Gutenberg-Richter relationship, the power law paradigm has
rarely been challenged by the seismological community. By taking a view of aftershock research not biased by prior conceptions of Omori power law decay and by applying statistical methods recommended in applied mathematics, I show that all aftershock sequences tested in three regional earthquake catalogs (Southern and Northern California, Taiwan) and with three declustering techniques (nearest-neighbor, second-order moment, window methods) follow a stretched exponential instead of a power law. These results infer that aftershocks are due to a simpler relaxation process than originally thought, in accordance with most other relaxation processes observed in Nature.
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.
