Event details
"Temperature chaos" applies to certain systems with complex free energy landscapes where a small change in temperature causes a complete reorganisation of the landscape. It is predicted to occur in glassy materials and is related to memory and rejuvenation effects. I will talk about the general concept of temperature chaos and then focus on some very simple models that attempt to capture some of its characteristics.
