Random Field Ising Model with spatially disorder strength gradient — •Christoph Polle and Alexander K. Hartmann — Institut für Physik, University of Oldenburg, Germany

We study numerically [1] a three-dimensional Random Field Ising Model (RFIM) in which a spatially disorder strength gradient h(x) is introduced. The gradient was chosen so that h(x) is equal to the critical value h_c = 2.28 [2] at the half of the lattice in x-direction. The actual magnetic field acting on a spin i is defined as h_i = h(x)*n_i, where n_i is a (0,1) quenched Gaussian number.

To investigate the system efficiently the RFIM was transformed to a network, then the maximum flow problem was solved to determine the ground state [3]. This is done for different system sizes and realizations. From the ground state the magnetization, a specific-heat like quantity and the susceptibility where calculated as a function of x. Also the system was analyzed in the spirit of gradient percolation problems[4].
