Abstract

We consider the one-dimensional random field Ising model, where the spin-spin coupling, JJ, is ferromagnetic and the external field is chosen to be +h+h with probability pp and h-h with probability 1p1-p. At zero temperature, we calculate an exact expression for the correlation length of the quenched average of the correlation function s0sns0sn\langle s_0 s_n \rangle - \langle s_0 \rangle \langle s_n \rangle in the case that 2J/h2J/h is not an integer. The result is a discontinuous function of 2J/h2J/h. When p=12p = {1 \over 2}, we also place a bound on the correlation length of the quenched average of the correlation function s0sn\langle s_0 s_n \rangle.
