Fortuin-Kasteleyn and damage-spreading transitions in random-bond Ising lattices
1Department of Theoretical Physics, Kungliga Tekniska högskolan, SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden.
Abstract:
The Fortuin-Kasteleyn and heat-bath damage-spreading temperatures T(FK)(p) and T(DS)(p) are studied on random-bond Ising models of dimensions 2-5 and as functions of the ferromagnetic interaction probability p; the conjecture that T(DS)(p)~T(FK)(p) is tested. It follows from a statement by Nishimori that in any such system, exact coordinates can be given for the intersection point between the Fortuin-Kasteleyn T(FK)(p) transition line and the Nishimori line [p(NL,FK),T(NL,FK)]. There are no finite-size corrections for this intersection point. In dimension 3, at the intersection concentration [p(NL,FK)], the damage spreading T(DS)(p) is found to be equal to T(FK)(p) to within 0.1%. For the other dimensions, however, T(DS)(p) is observed to be systematically a few percent lower than T(FK)(p).

The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
