This model should describe random pinning in vortex lattices in type-II superconducting alloys, charge-density wave materials, and decagonal quasicrystals.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-01-19T20:13:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "3d random field", "long-range order", "glassy freezing", "isotropic random-field probability distributions", "simple cubic lattices" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1001.3397F" } } }
