We study the ground state of a $d$--dimensional Ising model with both long range (dipole--like) and nearest neighbor ferromagnetic (FM) interactions. The long range interaction is equal to $r^{-p}$, $p>d$, while the FM interaction has…

We compare the ground state of the random-field Ising model with Gaussian distributed random fields, with its non-equilibrium hysteretic counterpart, the demagnetized state. This is a low energy state obtained by a sequence of slow magnetic…

We investigate the relaxation of homogeneous Ising ferromagnets on finite lattices with zero-temperature spin-flip dynamics. On the square lattice, a frozen two-stripe state is apparently reached approximately 1/4 of the time, while the…
We study the equilibrium properties of the nearest-neighbor Ising antiferromagnet on a triangular lattice in the presence of a staggered field conjugate to one of the degenerate ground states. Using a mapping of the ground states of the…
When a two-dimensional Ising ferromagnet is quenched from above the critical temperature to zero temperature, the system eventually converges to either a ground state (all spins aligned) or an infinitely long-lived metastable stripe state.…
We investigate the final state of zero-temperature Ising ferromagnets which are endowed with single-spin flip Glauber dynamics. Surprisingly, the ground state is generally not reached for zero initial magnetization. In two dimensions, the…
It is known that, after a quench to zero temperature ($T=0$), two-dimensional ($d=2$) Ising ferromagnets with short-range interactions do not always relax to the ordered state. They can also fall in infinitely long-lived striped metastable…
We consider zero-temperature, stochastic Ising models with nearest-neighbor interactions in two and three dimensions. Using both symmetric and asymmetric initial configurations, we study the evolution of the system with time. We examine the…
We propose a new method for exact analytical calculation of the ground-state energy of the Ising spin glass on strips. An outstanding advantage of this method over the numerical transfer matrix technique is that the energy is obtained for…
A zero temperature dynamics of Ising spin glasses and ferromagnets on random graphs of finite connectivity is considered, like granular media these systems have an extensive entropy of metastable states. We consider the problem of what…

We study the Ising model with competing ferromagnetic nearest- and antiferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor interactions of strengths $J_1 > 0$ and $J_2 < 0$, respectively, on the honeycomb lattice. For $J_2 > - J_1 / 4$ it has a…
