The Nature of the Probability Distribution Function of the Local Energy in Ising Spin Glass

The nature of the probability distribution function of the local energy in the $\pm J$ Ising model has been investigated. At finite temperature, it has been derived that the probability distribution function must satisfy several relations at $p=1/2$ ($p$ is the concentrationof the ferromagnetic bond) and at Nishimori-line, respectively on any lattice in any dimension. They relate the probability distribution function corresponding to the local energy lower than $-\tanh (K)$ with that corresponding to the local enegy greater than $-\tanh (K)$. ($K$ is the inverse temperature.) The present results at Nishimori-line are, in a sense, generalization of Nishimori's result about the internal energy obtained by the local gauge transformation. Moreover, from the numerical calculation in the two-dimentional $\pm J$ Ising model, it is found that, in a certain temperature region, the probability distribution function of the local energy has several peaks which are related to the patterns of frustration around a bond of the lattice.

The specific heat of the rwo-dimensional +/-J Ising model

The specific heat of the two-dimensional $\pm J$ Ising model has been investigated by the numerical transfer matrix method and Monte Carlo simulations from a new point of view. The region where a part of the specific heat takes the negative value has been investigated, which is characteristic of frustrated systems and reflects the non-trivial degeneracy of the ground state. The region mentioned above is found to be fairly large in the $p-T$ plane ($p$ is the concentration of the ferromagnetic bond and $T$ is the temperature). Moreover, it includes the Nishimori line. Namely, it includes a part of the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase boundary, on which the specific heat cannot diverge. The present result indicates that the specific heat does not diverge at least on a part of the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase boundary above the multicritical point, which is in conflict with previous results.

Reply to Comment on 'A new method to calculate the spin-glass order parameter of the two-dimensional $\pm J$ Ising model'

In response to the comment made by Dr. Shirakura {\it et al} (cond-mat/0011235), we explain that their scaling forms of the order parameter distribution are inadequate. We then present an appropriate scaling form of the order parameter distribution, which gives a good scaling plot of the order parameter distribution itself and also gives consistent results with our pevious results[1].

A New Method to Calculate the Spin-Glass Order Parameter of the Two-Dimensional +/-J Ising Model

A new method to numerically calculate the $n$th moment of the spin overlap of the two-dimensional $\pm J$ Ising model is developed using the identity derived by one of the authors (HK) several years ago. By using the method, the $n$th moment of the spin overlap can be calculated as a simple average of the $n$th moment of the total spins with a modified bond probability distribution. The values of the Binder parameter etc have been extensively calculated with the linear size, $L$, up to L=23. The accuracy of the calculations in the present method is similar to that in the conventional transfer matrix method with about $10^{5}$ bond samples. The simple scaling plots of the Binder parameter and the spin-glass susceptibility indicate the existence of a finite-temperature spin-glass phase transition. We find, however, that the estimation of $T_{\rm c}$ is strongly affected by the corrections to scaling within the present data ($L\leq 23$). Thus, there still remains the possibility that $T_{\rm c}=0$, contrary to the recent results which suggest the existence of a finite-temperature spin-glass phase transition.
