Two main features of our results are: (i)when cooling is resumed after such a stop, X goes back to the reversible curve (chaos) (ii) upon re-heating, X perfectly traces the previous ageing history (memory). We discuss implications of our results for a real space (as opposed to phase space) picture of spin glasses.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1998-09-01T09:45:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spin glasses", "chaos effects", "low frequency ac susceptibility measurements", "constant rate yields" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
