Effects of aerogel-like disorder on the critical behavior of O(m)-vector models. Recent simulations and experimental evidence
We review recent results on the effect of a specific type of quenched disorder on well known O(m)-vector models in three dimensions: the XY model (3DXY, m=2) and the Ising model (3DIS, m=1). Evidence of changes of criticality in both systems, when confined in aerogel pores, is briefly referenced. T...
