In contrast to the experiments, the Edwards-Anderson model does not show any trace of reinitialization processes in temperature change experiments (TRM or ac). A detailed comparison with ac relaxation experiments in the presence of dc magnetic field or coupling distribution perturbations reveals that the absence of chaotic effects in the Edwards-Anderson model is a consequence of the presence of strong cooling rate effects. We discuss possible solutions to this discrepancy, in particular the smallness of the time scales reached in numerical experiments, but we also question the validity of the Edwards-Anderson model to reproduce the experimental results.12 p.application/pdfeng(c) The American Physical Society, 2001Propietats magnètiquesFísica estadísticaTermodinàmicaSistemes dinàmics diferenciablesTeories no linealsCaos (Teoria de sistemes)Vidres de spinMagnetic propertiesNonlinear dynamical systemsStatistical physicsThermodynamicsDifferentiable dynamical systemsNonlinear theoriesChaotic behavior in systemsSpin glassesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article514182info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
