The slow process involves variables with critical behavior at finite temperature T_p and has a global character like the (structural) alpha-relaxation of glasses. The fast process has a more local character and can be associated to the beta-relaxation of glasses. At temperature T>T_p the fast relaxation follows the non-Arrhenius behavior of the slow variables. At T ~< T_p the fast variables have an Arrhenius behavior, resembling the alpha-beta bifurcation of fragile glasses. The model allows us to analyze the relation between the dynamics and the thermodynamics.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-07-24T03:38:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fast relaxation time", "glassy behavior", "frustrated spin model", "relaxation process", "glassy dynamics" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2001cond.mat..7491F" } } }
