Ground state properties of Ising chain with random monomer-dimer couplings
We study analytically the one-dimensional Ising model with a random binary distribution of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic exchange couplings at zero temperature. We introduce correlations in the disorder by assigning a dimer of one type of coupling with probability $x$, and a monomer of the other type with probability $1-x$. We find that the magnetization behaves differently from the original binary model. In particular, depending on which type of coupling comes in dimers, magnetization jumps vanish at a certain set of critical fields. We explain the results based on the structure of ground state spin configuration.
