We developed an exact algorithm to study low energy clusters in disordered systems. Our findings reveal broad droplet distributions in random networks and varied distributions in magnets, impacting their treatment as two-level systems.

Area of Science:

  • Condensed matter physics
  • Statistical mechanics

Background:

  • Understanding the behavior of low energy clusters (droplets) is crucial in disordered systems.
  • Disordered manifolds and magnets exhibit complex energy landscapes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce an exact algorithm for calculating droplet distributions in disordered systems.
  • To analyze the applicability of the two-level system approximation for these clusters.

Main Methods:

  • Development and application of an exact algorithm.
  • Analysis of droplet distributions in specific disordered systems.

Main Results:

  • Interfaces in randomly diluted networks consistently show broad droplet distributions.
  • Diluted antiferromagnets in a field can exhibit either power law or exponential droplet distributions.

Conclusions:

  • The nature of droplet distributions varies significantly depending on the specific disordered system.
  • The two-level system approximation's validity is system-dependent and influenced by droplet distribution characteristics.
