Sample-Dependent Phase Transitions in Disordered Exclusion Models

Abstract

We give numerical evidence that the location of the first order phase transition between the low and the high density phases of the one dimensional asymmetric simple exclusion process with open boundaries becomes sample dependent when quenched disorder is introduced for the hopping rates.
