Ground State Properties of Fluxlines in a Disordered Environment
نویسنده
چکیده
A new numerical method to calculate exact ground states of multifluxline systems with quenched disorder is presented, which is based on the minimum cost flow algorithm from combinatorial optimization. We discuss several models that can be studied with this method including their specific implementations, physically relevant observables and results: (1) The N-line model with N fluxlines (or directed polymers) in a d-dimensional environment with point and/or columnar disorder and hard or soft-core repulsion; (2) the vortex glass model for a disordered superconductor in the strong screening limit; and (3) the sine-Gordon model with random pase shifts in the strong coupling limit.

Polynomial combinatorial optimization methods for analysing the ground states of disordered systems
We discuss the application of polynomial combinatorial optimization algorithms to extract the universal zero-temperature properties of various disordered systems. Dijkstras algorithm is used for models of non-directed elastic lines on general regular graphs with isotropically correlated random potentials. The successive shortest path algorithm for minimum-costflow problems is applied for the st...
متن کاملModified Spin Wave Thoery of the Bilayer Square Lattice Frustrated Quantum Heisenberg Antiferromagnet
The ground state of the square lattice bilayer quantum antiferromagnet with nearest and next-nearest neighbour intralayer interaction is studied by means of the modified spin wave method. For weak interlayer coupling, the ground state is found to be always magnetically ordered while the quantum disordered phase appear for large enough interlayer coupling. The properties of the disordered phase ...
متن کاملGround-state properties of solid-on-solid models with disordered substrates
We study the glassy superrough phase of a class of solid-on-solid models with a disordered substrate in the limit of vanishing temperature by means of exact ground states, which we determine with a minimum-costflow algorithm. Results for the height-height correlation function are compared with analytical and numerical predictions. The domain-wall energy of a boundary-induced step grows logarith...
متن کاملLocalization effects and inelastic scattering in disordered heavy electrons
We study ground-state and finite-temperature properties of disordered heavy fermion metals by using a generalization of dynamical mean-field theory which incorporates Anderson localization effects. The emergence of a non-Fermi-liquid metallic behavior even at moderate disorder is shown to be a universal phenomenon resulting from local density of states fluctuations. This behavior is found to ha...
متن کاملEnsemble Theory for Stealthy Hyperuniform Disordered Ground States
It has been shown numerically that systems of particles interacting with isotropic “stealthy” bounded long-ranged pair potentials (similar to Friedel oscillations) have classical ground states that are (counterintuitively) disordered, hyperuniform, and highly degenerate. Disordered hyperuniform systems have received attention recently because they are distinguishable exotic states of matter poi...
