Hidden valley structure of Ising spin glasses

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The hidden valley structure of the phase space of short-range spin glasses is investigated. In the spirit of a similar investigation for liquids by Stillinger and Weber, valleys are defined as the set of states which by steepest descent lead to the same metastable state. The lifetime of valleys and the size of spin clusters involved in intervalley transitions on thermal Monte Carlo trajectories are calculated as a function of temperature.
