Description
The far-from-equilibrium nature of glass-forming many-body systems challenges the development of controlled experiments to study their structural and dynamical properties. In the context of an ongoing collaboration, a tabletop setup consisting of frustrated magnetic spinners has been proposed which allows to perform experiments at the human scale in a controlled manner.
Combining methods from (soft) condensed matter physics, statistical mechanics and computational physics, the objective of this project is to develop a theoretical and numerical model to study this system, to parameterise and to validate the model with the existing experimental results.
