Abstract

The effect of randomness on critical behavior is a crucial subject in condensed matter physics due to the the presence of impurity in any real material. We presently probe the critical behaviour of the antiferromagnetic (AF) Ising model on rewired square lattices with random connectivity. An extra link is randomly added to each site of the square lattice to connect the site to one of its next-nearest neighbours, thus having different number of connections (links). Average number of links (ANOL) $κ$ is fractional, varied from 2 to 3, where $κ= 2$ associated with the native square lattice. The rewired lattices possess abundance of triangular units in which spins are frustrated due to AF interaction. The system is studied by using Monte Carlo method with Replica Exchange algorithm. Some physical quantities of interests were calculated, such as the specific heat, the staggered magnetization and the spin glass order parameter (Edward-Anderson parameter). We investigate the role played by the randomness in affecting the existing phase transition and its interplay with frustration to possibly bring any spin glass (SG) properties. We observed the low temperature magnetic ordered phase (Néel phase) preserved up to certain value of $κ$ and no indication of SG phase for any value of $κ$.

R-transforms for non-Hermitian matrices: a spherical integral approach

In this paper, we establish a connection between the formalism of $\mathcal{R}$-transforms for non-Hermitian random matrices and the framework of spherical integrals, using the replica method. This connection was previously proved in the Hermitian setting and in the case of bi-invariant random matrices. We show that the $\mathcal{R}$-transforms used in the non-Hermitian context in fact originate from a single scalar function of two variables. This provides a new and transparent way to compute $\mathcal{R}$-transforms, which until now had been known only in restricted cases such as bi-invariant, Hermitian, or elliptic ensembles.

Spectral boundaries of deterministic matrices deformed by rotationally invariant random non-Hermitian ensembles

One of the great miracles of random matrix theory is that, in the $N \to \infty$ limit, many otherwise intractable matrix problems with horrendously complicated finite-$N$ expressions admit remarkably simple and elegant asymptotic solutions. In this paper, we illustrate this phenomenon in the context of spectral boundaries (or spectral edges) for deformed random matrices. Specifically, we consider matrices of the form $\mathbf{A} + \mathbf{B}$, where $\mathbf{A}$ is a deterministic $N\times N$ matrix (not necessarily Hermitian) and $\mathbf{B}$ is a rotationally invariant random matrix. In the large-$N$ limit, we show that the complex eigenvalue distribution of $\mathbf{A} + \mathbf{B}$ satisfies remarkably simple boundary equations that depend on the $\mathcal{R}_1$ and $\mathcal{R}_2$ transforms of $\mathbf{B}$. We illustrate our results on several explicit random matrix ensembles and support them with numerical simulations.

Electrical conductivity of crack-template-based transparent conducting films: mean-field approximation, effective-medium theory, and simulation

In this work, crack-template-based transparent conducting films were modeled as networks corresponding to the edges of a two-dimensional Poisson--Voronoi diagram. Two types of networks were considered: the original one, in which the conductance of each edge was inversely proportional to its length, and the effective one, in which all edges had the same conductance obtained from the effective-medium theory. The mean-field approximation was used for analytical evaluation of the electrical conductivity. Direct numerical calculations for the Poisson--Voronoi diagram showed that the mean-field approximation overestimated the effective conductivity of the original network by approximately 13\%, and of the effective network by 79\%. In addition, a honeycomb network with an edge conductance distribution corresponding to the Poisson--Voronoi diagram was studied: for it, the predictions of the effective-medium theory turned out to be more accurate than for the Poisson--Voronoi diagram, which was explained by the greater structural homogeneity of the periodic honeycomb lattice. The results indicate that, when modeling crack-template-based transparent conducting films, the application of the mean-field approximation may lead to significant errors if the resistance of individual conductors is not simply proportional to their length. This possibility is discussed as a motivation for future studies of hierarchical cracks with variable width, which are not directly investigated here.
