Random Transverse Field Ising Model in dimension $d>1$ : scaling analysis in the disordered phase from the Directed Polymer model (1110.3145v2)

Published 14 Oct 2011 in cond-mat.dis-nn

Abstract: For the quantum Ising model with ferromagnetic random couplings $J_{i,j}>0$ and random transverse fields $h_i>0$ at zero temperature in finite dimensions $d>1$, we consider the lowest-order contributions in perturbation theory in $(J_{i,j}/h_i)$ to obtain some information on the statistics of various observables in the disordered phase. We find that the two-point correlation scales as : $\ln C(r) \sim - \frac{r}{\xi_{typ}} +r{\omega} u$, where $\xi_{typ} $ is the typical correlation length, $u$ is a random variable, and $\omega$ coincides with the droplet exponent $\omega_{DP}(D=d-1)$ of the Directed Polymer with $D=(d-1)$ transverse directions. Our main conclusions are (i) whenever $\omega>0$, the quantum model is governed by an Infinite-Disorder fixed point : there are two distinct correlation length exponents related by $\nu_{typ}=(1-\omega)\nu_{av}$ ; the distribution of the local susceptibility $\chi_{loc}$ presents the power-law tail $P(\chi_{loc}) \sim 1/\chi_{loc}{1+\mu}$ where $\mu$ vanishes as $\xi_{av}{-\omega} $, so that the averaged local susceptibility diverges in a finite neighborhood $0<\mu<1$ before criticality (Griffiths phase) ; the dynamical exponent $z$ diverges near criticality as $z=d/\mu \sim \xi_{av}{\omega}$ (ii) in dimensions $d \leq 3$, any infinitesimal disorder flows towards this Infinite-Disorder fixed point with $\omega(d)>0$ (for instance $\omega(d=2)=1/3$ and $\omega(d=3) \sim 0.24$) (iii) in finite dimensions $d > 3$, a finite disorder strength is necessary to flow towards the Infinite-Disorder fixed point with $\omega(d)>0$ (for instance $\omega(d=4) \simeq 0.19$), whereas a Finite-Disorder fixed point remains possible for a small enough disorder strength. For the Cayley tree of effective dimension $d=\infty$ where $\omega=0$, we discuss the similarities and differences with the case of finite dimensions.
