Exact scalings of pure and dilute quantum transverse Ising chains
Robin B. Stinchcombe
Abstract
A phenomenological scaling method is used to obtain exact renormalisation-group transformations for pure and bond-diluted transverse Ising chains at zero temperature. An exact discussion is given of basic critical properties of the two systems, and the exponents characterising the quantum and percolative critical behaviour of the correlation length of the dilute chain are found to be nu lambda = nu rho =1.
