Abstract
We study the time evolution of the one-dimensional random-bond transverse Ising model with four-spin interactions. We calculate the time-dependent correlation function as well as the longitudinal relaxation function of the infinite chain. We analyze how the presence of disorder affect the dynamical behavior of the system in comparison with the pure model. We find that the main effect of disorder is to produce a crossover from a central mode to a collective-mode type of dynamics, as the concentration of weaker bonds is enhanced. Such crossover is also present in the case of an increase in bond dilution.
