Quasi-long range order in the random anisotropy Heisenberg model

Abstract

The large distance behaviors of the random field and random anisotropy Heisenberg models are studied with the functional renormalization group in $4-\epsilon$ dimensions. The random anisotropy model is found to have a phase with the infinite correlation radius at low temperatures and weak disorder. The correlation function of the magnetization obeys a power law $<\mathbf{m}({\mathbf{r}}_1)\mathbf{m}({\mathbf{r}}_2)>\sim |{\mathbf{r}}_1-{\mathbf{r}}_2{|}^{-0.62\epsilon }$. The magnetic susceptibility diverges at low fields as $\chi \sim H^{-1+0.15\epsilon }$. In the random field model the correlation radius is found to be finite at the arbitrarily weak disorder.
