Experiments

Parlare dei campioni di rame dopati con il magnesio, marino o no: trovare due figure una di suscettivita e una di calore specifico, prova della transizione termodinamica.

Edwards Anderson model

We consider for simplicity the Ising version of this model.

Ising spins takes two values Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \sigma=\pm 1} and live on a lattice of Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle N } sitees Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle i=1,2,\ldots,N } . The enregy is writteen as a sum between the nearest neighbours <i,j>:

Edwards and Anderson proposed to study this model for couplings Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle J } that are i.i.d. random variables with zero mean. We set Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \pi(J)} the coupling distribution indicate the avergage over the couplings called disorder average, with an overline:

It is crucial to assume Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \bar{ \quadJ\quad}=0 } , otherwise the model displays ferro/antiferro order. We sill discuss two distributions:

• Coin toss couplings, Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle J= \pm 1 } , selected with probability Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle 1/2 } .
