Griffiths-McCoy singularities in random quantum spin chains: Exact results
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider random quantum (tight-binding, XX and Ising) spin chains in the off-critical region and study their Griffiths-McCoy singularities. These are obtained from the density of states of the low-energy excitations, which is calculated exactly by the Dyson-Schmidt method. In large finite systems the low-energy excitations are shown to follow the statistics of extremes and their distribution is given by the Fréchet form. Relation between the Dyson-Schmidt technique and the strong disorder renormalization group method is also discussed.

Griffiths-McCoy singularities in random quantum spin chains: exact results through renormalization.
The Ma-Dasgupta-Hu renormalization group (RG) scheme is used to study singular quantities in the Griffiths phase of random quantum spin chains. For the random transverse-field Ising spin chain we have extended Fisher's analytical solution to the off-critical region and calculated the dynamical exponent exactly. Concerning other random chains we argue by scaling considerations that the RG method...
متن کاملRandom Quantum Magnets with Long-Range Correlated Disorder: Enhancement of Critical and Griffiths-McCoy Singularities
We study the effect of spatial correlations on quenched disorder in random quantum magnets at and near a quantum critical point. In random transverse-field Ising systems disorder correlations that decay algebraically with an exponent r change the universality class of the transition for small enough r, and off-critical Griffiths-McCoy singularities are enhanced. We present exact results for 1D ...
متن کاملFinite temperature behavior of strongly disordered quantum magnets coupled to a dissipative bath
We study the effect of dissipation on the infinite randomness fixed point and the Griffiths–McCoy singularities of random transverse Ising systems in chains, ladders and in two dimensions. A strong disorder renormalization group scheme is presented that allows the computation of the finite temperature behavior of the magnetic susceptibility and the spin specific heat. In the case of ohmic dissi...
متن کاملRapid Note Critical exponents of random XX and XY chains: Exact results via random walks
We study random XY and (dimerized) XX spin-1/2 quantum spin chains at their quantum phase transition driven by the anisotropy and dimerization, respectively. Using exact expressions for magnetization, correlation functions and energy gap, obtained by the free fermion technique, the critical and off-critical (Griffiths-McCoy) singularities are related to persistence properties of random walks. I...
متن کاملCritical Behavior and Griffiths-McCoy Singularities in the Two-Dimensional Random Quantum Ising Ferromagnet
We study the quantum phase transition in the two-dimensional random Ising model in a transverse field by Monte Carlo simulations. We find results similar to those known analytically in one dimension. At the critical point the dynamical exponent is infinite and the typical correlation function decays with a stretched exponential dependence on distance. Away from the critical point there are Grif...
