Quasi-long-range order in the 2D XY model with random phase shifts
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the square-lattice XY model in the presence of random phase shifts. We consider two different disorder distributions with zero average shift and investigate the low-temperature quasi-long-range order phase which occurs for sufficiently low disorder. By means of Monte Carlo simulations we determine several universal quantities which are then compared with the analytic predictions of the random spin-wave theory. We observe a very good agreement which indicates that the universal long-distance behavior in the whole low-disorder low-temperature phase is fully described by the random spin-wave theory.

Absence of Reentrance in the Two-Dimensional XY-Model with Random Phase Shift
We show that trie 2D XY-model with random phase shifts exhibits for low temperature and small disorder a phase with quasi-long-range order, and that the transition to trie disordered phase is noi reentrant. These results are obtained by heunstic
متن کاملInfluence of quenched dilution on the quasi - long - range ordered phase of the 2 d XY model
Influence of quenched dilution on the quasi-long-range ordered phase of the 2d XY model. Abstract. The influence of non magnetic impurities in the 2d XY model is investigated through Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. The general picture of the transition is fully understood from the Harris criterion which predicts that the universality class is unchanged, and the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless des...
متن کاملUnified picture of ferromagnetism, quasi-long-range order, and criticality in random-field models.
By applying the recently developed nonperturbative functional renormalization group (FRG) approach, we study the interplay between ferromagnetism, quasi-long-range order (QLRO), and criticality in the d-dimensional random-field O(N) model in the whole (N, d) diagram. Even though the "dimensional reduction" property breaks down below some critical line, the topology of the phase diagram is found...
متن کاملVortex lines in the three-dimensional XY model with random phase shifts.
The stability of the ordered phase of the three-dimensional XY model with random phase shifts is studied by considering the roughening of a single stretched vortex line due to disorder. It is shown that the vortex line may be described by a directed polymer Hamiltonian with an effective random potential that is long-range correlated. A Flory argument estimates the roughness exponent to z53/4 an...
متن کاملPositional Disorder in the Fully Frustrated Josephson Junction Array: Random Gaussian Phase Shifts in the Fully Frustrated 2D XY Model
We consider the effect of positional disorder on a Josephson junction array with an applied magnetic field of f 1 2 flux quantum per unit cell. This is equivalent to the problem of random Gaussian phase shifts in the fully frustrated 2D XY model. Using simple analytical arguments and numerical simulations, we present evidence that the ground state vortex lattice of the pure model becomes disord...
