Random magnetic fields reduce critical dimensionality

JUL 01, 1983

DOI: 10.1063/1.2915737

Recent work, both experimental and theoretical, on the magnetic‐ordering transition in dilute antiferromagnets has posed a new set of questions about the competition between order and disorder in physical systems. While neither theory nor experiment has yet given any conclusive answers, the discussion itself is providing some interesting examples of cross‐fertilization between different areas of physics.
