From glassy bulk systems to spin-glass films: simulations meet experiments

During my Ph.D., we made small progress in the secular question on the nature of the spin-glass system. However, we demonstrated the unique and powerful combination of experiments, theory, and simulations addressing complex dynamics. On one hand, the experimental progress on the sample preparation a...

Description
Summary:During my Ph.D., we made small progress in the secular question on the nature of the spin-glass system. However, we demonstrated the unique and powerful combination of experiments, theory, and simulations addressing complex dynamics. On one hand, the experimental progress on the sample preparation and the increased precision on the measurements of key physical observables have opened new prospects in the spinglass investigation. On the other hand, the Janus II special-purpose supercomputer, in combination with theory, is suficient to extend simulation time and length scales tovalues explored experimentally. The text is organized into four parts. In the following paragraphs, we introduce briefly each of them...
