disordered spin system
1Spin glass — A spin glass is a disordered material exhibiting high magnetic frustration. The origin of the behavior can be either a disordered structure (such as that of a conventional, chemical glass) or a disordered magnetic doping in an otherwise regular… …
2Correlation function (statistical mechanics) — For other uses, see Correlation function (disambiguation). In statistical mechanics, the correlation function is a measure of the order in a system, as characterized by a mathematical correlation function, and describes how microscopic variables… …
3Molecular dynamics — (MD) is a computer simulation of physical movements of atoms and molecules. The atoms and molecules are allowed to interact for a period of time, giving a view of the motion of the atoms. In the most common version, the trajectories of molecules… …
4Order-disorder — In quantum field theory and statistical mechanics in the thermodynamic limit, a system with a global symmetry can have more than one phase. For parameters where the symmetry is spontaneously broken, the system is said to be ordered. When the… …
5Order and disorder (physics) — In physics, the terms order and disorder designate the presence or absence of some symmetry or correlation in a many particle system. In condensed matter physics, systems typically are ordered at low temperatures; upon heating, they undergo one… …
6Anderson localization — In condensed matter physics, Anderson localization, also known as strong localization, is the absence of diffusion of waves in a disordered medium. This phenomenon is named after the American physicist P. W. Anderson, who was the first one to… …
7Kosterlitz–Thouless transition — The Kosterlitz–Thouless transition, or Berezinsky–Kosterlitz–Thouless transition, is a special transition seen in the XY model for interacting spin systems in 2 spatial dimensions.The XY model is a 2 Dimensional vector spin model that possesses… …
8International Phonetic Alphabet — Not to be confused with NATO phonetic alphabet. IPA redirects here. For other uses, see IPA (disambiguation). For usage of IPA in Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:IPA or Wikipedia:IPA/Introduction International Phonetic Alphabet …
9Ising model — The Ising model, named after the physicist Ernst Ising, is a mathematical model in statistical mechanics. It has since been used to model diverse phenomena in which bits of information, interacting in pairs, produce collectiveeffects.Definition… …
10Temperature — This article is about the thermodynamic property. For other uses, see Temperature (disambiguation). A map of global long term monthly average surface air temperatures i …
