The aim of the workshop was to bring together specialists in
various fields where non-exponential relaxation is observed in
order to compare models and experimental results and to examine the
general physical principles governing this type of behaviour.
Non-exponential relaxation is found in extremely diverse physical
systems all of which can be classified as complex. The form of the
relaxation is generally parametrized using logarithmic, algebraic
or stretched exponential decay forms. The conceptually simplest
mechanism for the non-exponential decay is a spectrum of relaxation
rates due to non-interacting units each of which relaxes with a
different intrinsic time constant. Clear experimental examples can
be given where for instance the relaxation of a collection of
isolated polymer molecules leads to an overall stretched
exponential decay. Non-exponential relaxation is observed in all
strongly interacting complex systems (structural glasses, spin
glasses, etc ... ) where each elementary unit is in interaction
with many other units.
