On the phase transition of the 3D random field Ising model

Abstract: We present numerical simulations of the random field Ising model in three dimensions at zero temperature. The critical exponents are found to agree with previous results. We study the magnetic susceptibility by applying a small magnetic field perturbation. We find that the critical amplitude ratio of the magnetic susceptibilities to be very large, equal to 233.1 \pm 1.5. We find strong sample to sample fluctuations which obey finite size scaling. The probability distribution of the size of small energy excitations is maximally non-self averaging, obeying a double peak distribution, and is finite size scaling invariant. We also study the approach to the thermodynamic limit of the ground state magnetization at the phase transition.
