Abstract
The 1D isotropic s = 1/2 XY-model (N sites), with random exchange
interaction in a transverse random field is considered. The random
variables satisfy bimodal quenched distributions. The solution is
obtained by using the Jordan-Wigner fermionization and a canonical
transformation, reducing the problem to diagonalizing an N x N matrix,
corresponding to a system of N noninteracting fermions. The calculations are performed numerically for N = 1000, and the held-induced magnetization at T = 0 is obtained by averaging the results for the
different samples. For the dilute case, in the uniform held limit, the
magnetization exhibits various discontinuities, which are the
consequence of the existence of disconnected finite clusters distributed
along the chain. Also in this limit, for finite exchange constants J(A)
and J(B), as the probability of J(A) varies from one to zero, the
saturation field is seen to vary from Gamma(A) to Gamma(B), where
Gamma(A) (Gamma(B)) is the value of the saturation field for the pure
case with exchange constant equal to J(A) (J(B)). (C) 1998 Elsevier
