Residual entropy of the dilute Ising chain in a magnetic field

Abstract

The properties of the ground state of the simplest frustrated system, the dilute Ising chain in a magnetic field, are rigorously investigated over the entire range of concentrations of charged non-magnetic impurities. Analytical methods are proposed for calculating the residual entropy of frustrated states, including states at phase boundaries, which are based on the Markov property of the system and involve solving a linear optimization problem for energy and a nonlinear optimization problem for entropy. These methods allow obvious generalizations for one-dimensional pseudospin models with anisotropic interactions. We calculate the composition, entropy and magnetization for the ground state phases. We prove the absence of pseudo-transitions in the dilute Ising chain, since the residual entropy of states at phase boundaries is always higher than the entropy of adjacent phases. The concentration dependencies of magnetization at the phase boundaries are obtained, and unlike linear dependencies for adjacent phases, they have nonlinear behavior. Field-induced transitions between ground states and entropy jumps associated with them are also considered, and in particular, it is shown that the field-induced transition from an antiferromagnetic state to a frustrated one is accompanied by charge ordering.
