Commensurate-Incommensurate Transitions of the 1D Disordered Chiral Clock Model

Pengfei Liang, Rosario Fazio, Stefano Chesi

We study the effects of quenched disorder on the commensurate-incommensurate transitions in the 1D ${\mathbb{Z}}_N$ chiral clock model. The interplay of domain walls and rare regions…
