Novel Quenched Disorder Fixed Point in a Two-Temperature Lattice Gas

Statistical Mechanics 2009-10-28 v1 Disordered Systems and Neural Networks

Abstract

We investigate the effects of quenched randomness on the universal properties of a two-temperature lattice gas. The disorder modifies the dynamical transition rates of the system in an anisotropic fashion, giving rise to a new fixed point. We determine the associated scaling form of the structure factor, quoting critical exponents to two-loop order in an expansion around the upper critical dimension dc=7_c=7. The close relationship with another quenched disorder fixed point, discovered recently in this model, is discussed.
