Monte Carlo Studies of Ising Spin Glasses and Random Field Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
We review recent numerical progress in the study of finite dimensional strongly disordered magnetic systems like spin glasses and random field systems. In particular we report in some details results for the critical properties and the non-equilibrium dynamics of Ising spin glasses. Furthermore we present an overview over recent investigations on the random field Ising model and finally of quantum spin glasses. To appear in: Annual Reviews of Computational Physics II ed. D. Stauffer, World Scientific, Singapore (1995).

Reentrancy and Dynamic Specific Heat of Ising Spin Glasses
The dynamic susceptibility and dynamic specific heat of Ising spin glasses with non-symmetric distributions of the exchange couplings are studied by the Monte Carlo method and are compared to the results obtained previously by the local mean field method. The two methods yield qualitatively different results but they still suggest lack of
متن کاملAbsence of an Almeida-Thouless line in three-dimensional spin glasses.
We present results of Monte Carlo simulations of the three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glass in the presence of a (random) field. A finite-size scaling analysis of the correlation length shows no indication of a transition, in contrast with the zero-field case. This suggests that there is no Almeida-Thouless line for short-range Ising spin glasses.
متن کاملPhase Transition in Disordered Quantum Systems: Transverse Ising Models
We introduce the transverse Ising model as a prototype for discussing quantum phase transition. Mean field theory, application to superconductivity by BCS and real space renormalization group technique (in one dimension) are discussed. Next we introduce Suzuki-Trotter formalism to show the correspondence between d-dimensional quantum system with a (d + 1)-dimensional classical system. We then d...
متن کاملAuxiliary-field Monte Carlo for quantum spin and boson systems
We describe an algorithm for the numerical simulation of quantum spin and boson systems. The method is based on the Trotter decomposition in imaginary time and a decoupling by auxiliary Ising spins. It can be applied, in principle, to arbitrary ~random! spin systems, however, in general it suffers from the ‘‘minus-sign problem.’’ This problem is absent in the case of the Ising model in a transv...
متن کاملOrder-parameter fluctuations (OPF) in spin glasses: Monte Carlo simulations and exact results for small sizes
The use of parameters measuring order-parameter fluctuations (OPF) has been encouraged by the recent results reported in referenece [2,3] which show that two of these parameters, G and Gc, take universal values in the limT→0. In this paper we present a detailed study of parameters measuring OPF for two mean-field models with and without time-reversal symmetry which exhibit different patterns of...
