Abstract
The dynamical properties of one-dimensional random transverse Ising model (RTIM) with a double-Gaussian disorder is investigated by the recursion method. Based on the first twelve recurrences derived analytically, the spin autocorrelation function (SAF) and associated spectral density at high temperature were obtained numerically. Our results indicate that when the standard deviation σ J (or σ B ) of the exchange couplings J i (or the random transverse fields B i ) is small, no long-time tail appears in the SAF. The spin system undergoes a crossover from a central-peak behavior to a collective-mode behavior, which is the dynamical characteristics of RTIM with the bimodal disorder. However, when σ J (or σ B ) is large enough, the system exhibits similar dynamics behaviors to those of the RTIM with the Gaussian disorder, i.e., the system exhibits an enhanced central-peak behavior for large σ J or a disordered behavior for large σ B . In this instance, SAFs exhibit a similar long-time tail, i.e., C ( t ) ∼ t −2 for large t . Similar properties are obtained when J i (or B i ) satisfy the double-exponential distribution or the double-uniform distribution. Besides, when both the standard deviations and the mean values of the exchange couplings are small, the effects of the Gaussian random bonds may drive the system undergo two crossovers from a triplet state to a doublet state, and then to a collective-mode state.
