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.

Critical slowing down dynamics of supercooled glass-forming liquids is usually understood at the mean-field level in the framework of Mode Coupling Theory, providing a two-time relaxation scenario and power-law behaviors of the time correlation funct
ion at dynamic criticality. In this work we derive critical slowing down exponents of spin-glass models undergoing discontinuous transitions by computing their Gibbs free energy and connecting the dynamic behavior to static in-state properties. Both the spherical and Isi
Numerical results for the local field distributions of a family of Ising spin-glass models are presented. In particular, the Edwards-Anderson model in dimensions two, three, and four is considered, as well as spin glasses with long-range power-law-mo
dulated interactions that interpolate between a nearest-neighbour Edwards-Anderson system in one dimension and the infinite-range Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model. Remarkably, the local field distributions only depend weakly on the range of the interactions and the dimensionality, and show strong similarities except for near zero local field.
The discovery of magnetic and compositional effects in the low temperature properties of multi-component glasses has prompted the need to extend the standard two-level systems (2LSs) tunneling model. A possible extension cite{Jug2004} assumes that a
subset of tunneling quasi-particles is moving in a three-welled potential (TWP) associated with the ubiquitous inhomogeneities of the disordered atomic structure of the glass. We show that within an alternative, cellular description of the intermediate-range atomic structure of glasses the tunneling TWP can be fully justified. We then review how the experimentally discovered magnetic effects can be explained within the approach where only localized atomistic tunneling 2LSs and quasi-particles tunneling in TWPs are allowed. We discuss the origin of the magnetic effects in the heat capacity, dielectric constant (real and imaginary parts), polarization echo and SQUID magnetization in several glassy systems. We conclude by commenting on a strategy to reveal the mentioned tunneling states (2LSs and TWPs) by means of atomistic computer simulations and discuss the microscopic nature of the tunneling states in the context of the potential energy landscape of glass-forming systems.
We study chaotic size dependence of the low temperature correlations in the SK spin glass. We prove that as temperature scales to zero with volume, for any typical coupling realization, the correlations cycle through every spin configuration in every
fixed observation window. This cannot happen in short-ranged models as there it would mean that every spin configuration is an infinite-volume ground state. Its occurrence in the SK model means that the commonly used `modified clustering notion of states sheds little light on the RSB solution of SK, and conversely, the RSB solution sheds little light on the thermodynamic structure of EA models.
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.
