Spin glasses: Experimental facts, theoretical concepts, and open questions

K Binder, AP Young - Reviews of Modern physics, 1986 - APS
This review summarizes recent developments in the theory of spin glasses, as well as
pertinent experimental data. The most characteristic properties of spin glass systems are …

Neural networks with nonlinear synapses and a static noise

H Sompolinsky - Physical Review A, 1986 - APS
The theory of neural networks is extended to include a static noise as well as nonlinear
updating of synapses by learning. The noise appears either in the form of spin-glass …

A replica analysis of the travelling salesman problem

M Mézard, G Parisi - Journal de physique, 1986 - jphys.journaldephysique.org
We propose and analyse a replica symmetric solution for random link travelling salesman
problems. This gives reasonable analytical estimates for thermodynamic quantities such as …

Computer simulation of the three-dimensional short-range Heisenberg spin glass

JA Olive, AP Young, D Sherrington - Physical Review B, 1986 - APS
The results of large-scale Monte Carlo simulations on a nearest-neighbor Heisenberg spin-
glass model are presented. We find that the transition is at zero temperature and that 3 is …

Time-Dependent Phenomena in a Short-Range Ising Spin-Glass, Ti

A Ito, H Aruga, E Torikai, M Kikuchi, Y Syono, H Takei - Physical review letters, 1986 - APS
Magnetization measurements have been made on an insulating random mixture, Fe 0.5 Mn
0.5 Ti O 3. An Ising spin-glass behavior has been observed below T g= 21.1 K. It is shown …

Cooling-rate dependence for the spin-glass ground-state energy: Implications for optimization by simulated annealing

GS Grest, CM Soukoulis, K Levin - Physical review letters, 1986 - APS
The zero-temperature ground-state properties of five spin-glass models have been studied
as a function of the cooling rate r=− Δ T t. Here Δ T is the temperature decrement and t is the …

Saturation level of the Hopfield model for neural network

A Crisanti, DJ Amit, H Gutfreund - Europhysics Letters, 1986 - iopscience.iop.org
The Hopfield model of a neural network is studied for p= αN, where p is the number of
memorized patterns and N the number of neurons. The averaging over the quenched …

Magnetic Equilibrium Noise in Spin-Glasses: S

W Reim, RH Koch, AP Malozemoff, MB Ketchen… - Physical review …, 1986 - APS
Using a novel magnetometer technique probing a (15− μ m) 3 volume of a sample directly
on top of a dc-SQUID chip with integrated pickup loops and field coils, we measure …

Magnetic properties of small ferromagnetic particles (Fe-Al2O3 granular thin films): Comparison with spin glass properties

D Fiorani, J Tholence, JL Dormann - Journal of Physics C: Solid …, 1986 - iopscience.iop.org
The static and dynamic properties of small ferromagnetic particles, consisting of iron grains
dispersed in an amorphous alumina matrix, are discussed and compared with spin glass …

A heuristic theory of the spin glass phase

A Bovier, J Fröhlich - Journal of statistical physics, 1986 - Springer
We study the low-temperature phase of the nearest-neighbor Ising spin glass. Our analysis
of gauge-invariant ground state Peierls contours suggests the existence of infinitely many …
