Abstract
The influence of correlated impurities on the critical behaviour of the 3D Ising model is studied using Monte Carlo simulations. Spins are confined into the pores of simulated aerogels (diffusion limited cluster-cluster aggregation) in order to study the effect of quenched disorder on the critical behaviour of this magnetic system. Finite size scaling is used to estimate critical couplings and exponents. Long-range correlated disorder does not affect critical behavior. Asymptotic exponents differ from those of the pure 3D Ising model (3DIS), but it is impossible, with our precision, to distinguish them from the randomly diluted Ising model (RDIS).
