Glassy transition and metastability in four-spin Ising Model
A Lipowski and D Johnston
Abstract
Using Monte Carlo simulations we show that the three-dimensional Ising model with four-spin
interactions has some characteristic glassy features.
The model dynamically generates diverging energy barriers, which gives rise to slow dynamics at low
temperature.
Moreover, in a certain temperature range both the low and high-temperature phases of the model are
stable.
