In three dimensions, for sufficiently strong anisotropy the systems always modulates in a striped phase. Below a critical strength of the anisotropy, a glassy phase exists in a finite range of temperature, and it becomes more stable as the system becomes more isotropic. In two dimension the criticality is always avoided and the glassy phase always exists.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-06-10T20:00:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "long-range interactions", "self-induced glassiness", "pattern formation", "glassy phase", "heisenberg spin systems subject" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
