The critical behaviour of three-dimensional semi-infinite Ising ferromagnets at planar surfaces with (i) random surface-bond disorder or (ii) a terrace of monatomic height and macroscopic size is considered. The Griffiths-Kelly-Sherman…
The influence of surface defects on the critical properties of magnetic films is studied for Ising models with nearest-neighbour ferromagnetic couplings. The defects include one or two adjacent lines of additional atoms and a step on the…
We investigate the static critical behaviour of a uniaxial magnetic layer, with finite thickness L in one direction, yet infinitely extended in the remaining d dimensions. The magnetic dipole-dipole interaction is taken into account. We…
We compute the critical exponents associated with a magnetic line defect in the critical 3D Ising model. From the result, we deduce the anomalous dimension of the fermion operator in the z = 1 scaling regime of a Fermi surface coupled to a…
The fixed-point structure of three-dimensional bond-disordered Ising models is investigated using the numerical domain-wall renormalization-group method. It is found that, in the +/-J Ising model, there exists a non-trivial fixed point…
We consider the continuum version of the random field Ising model in one dimension: this model arises naturally as weak disorder scaling limit of the original Ising model. Like for the Ising model, a spin configuration is conveniently…
Using the strong disorder renormalization group method we study numerically the critical behavior of the random transverse Ising model at a free surface, at a corner and at an edge in D=2, 3 and 4-dimensional lattices. The surface…
We consider a two-dimensional Ising field theory on a space with boundary in the presence of a piecewise constant boundary magnetic field which is allowed to change value discontinuously along the boundary. We assume zero magnetic field in…
We address the issue of universality in two-dimensional disordered Ising systems, by considering long, finite-width strips of ferromagnetic Ising spins with randomly distributed couplings. We calculate the free energy and spin-spin…
Finite 3D Ising ferromagnets are studied in periodic magnetic fields both by computer simulations and mean-field theoretical approaches. The phenomenon of stochastic resonance is revealed. The characteristic peak obtained for the…
We study numerically the zero temperature Random Field Ising Model on cubic lattices of various linear sizes $ 6 \le L \le 90 $ in three dimensions with the purpose of verifying the validity of universality for disordered systems. For each…
The appropriate generalization of the isotropic impurity Anderson model for valence fluctuations between two magnetic multiplets $l^n$ and $l^{n+1}$ is solved in the strong-coupling limit of Wilson's renormalization group for $l\leq$ 3.…
We consider m two-dimensional semi-infinite planes of Ising spins joined together through surface spins and study the critical behaviour near to the junction. The m=0 limit of the model - according to the replica trick - corresponds to the…
Finite size effects for the Ising Model coupled to two dimensional random surfaces are studied by exploiting the exact results from the 2-matrix models. The fixed area partition function is numerically calculated with arbitrary precision by…
We study numerically the roughening properties of an interface in a two-dimensional Ising model with either random bonds or random fields, which are representative of universality classes where disorder acts only on the interface or also…
Extensive Monte Carlo simulations are used to investigate the stability of the ferromagnetic ground state in three-dimensional systems of Ising dipoles with added quenched disorder. These systems model the collective ferromagnetic order…
The critical behavior of a non-local scalar field theory is studied. This theory has a non-local quartic interaction term which involves a real power -\beta of the Laplacian. The parameter \beta can be tuned so as to make that interaction…
We consider the Ising model on the square lattice with biaxially correlated random ferromagnetic couplings, the critical point of which is fixed by self-duality. The disorder represents a relevant perturbation according to the extended…
In CFTs, the partition function of a line defect with a cusp depends logarithmically on the size of the line with an angle-dependent coefficient: the cusp anomalous dimension. In the first part of this work, we study the general properties…
As a result of the interplay between the intrinsic off-diagonal terms of the dipolar interaction and an applied {\it transverse} field $H_t$, the diluted ${\rm LiHo_xY_{1-x}F_4}$ system at x$> 0.5$ is equivalent to a ferromagnet in a…
