Abstract
We have performed Monte Carlo studies of the 3D random field XY model on simple cubic lattices, with random field strengths of = 1 and 2. We present results for the angle-averaged magnetic structure factor, at . Our results appear to indicate a phase transition into a ferromagnetic state. This is made possible by the existence of a Griffiths singularity. It appears that at the phase transition jumps to zero discontinuously, with a latent heat which is probably subextensive.
