Abstract

We consider the random transverse-field Ising model in d=3d=3 dimensions with long-range ferromagnetic interactions which decay as a power α>d\alpha > d with the distance. Using a variant of the strong disorder renormalization group method we study numerically the phase-transition point from the paramagnetic side. The distribution of the (sample dependent) pseudo-critical points is found to scale with 1/lnL1/\ln L, LL being the linear size of the sample. Similarly, the critical magnetization scales with (lnL)χ/Ld(\ln L)^{\chi}/L^d and the excitation energy behaves as LαL^{-\alpha}. Using extreme-value statistics we argue that extrapolating from the ferromagnetic side the magnetization approaches a finite limiting value and thus the transition is of mixed-order.
