*Response decays logarithmically when switching is stopped before saturation of response.
čBefore response reaches
saturation the system is heterogeneous with
channels of moving vortices bounded by stationary ones.
čThe jamming process
involves finding empty pinning sites
čThis “JAMMING” is similar to the evolution of systems where the dynamics is
governed by volume considerations:
TAPPED SAND PILES, PARKING LOT,
ADSORPTION
COMPACTION -
REDUCTION OF FREE
