Contribution

It introduces new insights into the impact of magnetic fields on the glass transition and aging phenomena in spin-coupled fluid systems.

Findings

Slowing down in spin time-correlation functions observed.

Magnetic fields affect the glass transition behavior.

Aging effects and data collapse demonstrated.

Abstract

We study the glass transition in fluids where particles are endowed with spins, such that magnetic and positional degrees of freedom are coupled. Novel results for slowing down in the spin time-correlation functions are described, and the effects of magnetic fields on the glass transition are studied. Aging effects in such systems and the corresponding data collapse are presented and discussed.
