Computational studies of classical disordered spin systems
In this thesis classical disordered spin systems, in particular, the random field Ising model (RFIM), are studied using numerical methods. The previous experimental and theoretical research on the RFIM is reviewed. Critical exponents of the RFIM are extracted at zero temperature. The heat capacity e...
