arXiv:cond-mat/0402036 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.70.014418

Abstract

We perform Monte Carlo simulations of large two-dimensional Gaussian Ising spin glasses down to very low temperatures . Equilibration is ensured by using a cluster algorithm including Monte Carlo moves consisting of flipping fundamental excitations. We study the thermodynamic behavior using the Binder cumulant, the spin-glass susceptibility, the distribution of overlaps, the overlap with the ground state and the specific heat. We confirm that . All results are compatible with an algebraic divergence of the correlation length with an exponent . We find , which is compatible with the value for the domain-wall and droplet exponent found previously in ground-state studies. Hence the thermodynamic behavior of this model seems to be governed by one single exponent.
