Anisotropy effects in the 2D transverse Ising model
Rita Maria Zorzenon dos Santos, Raimundo R. dos Santos
Abstract
The authors study both the pure anisotropic and the anisotropically diluted transverse Ising model at zero temperature on the square lattice. In the former the coupling along each Cartesian direction are allowed to be different, whereas in the latter it is the bond concentration which may be different along the Cartesian directions. By means of a position space renormalisation group scheme, they find that in both cases the isotropic systems are stable with respect to anisotropy perturbations. They also discuss their results in view of a recently proposed criterion for the stability of pure systems of fixed points with respect to correlated dilution.
