The annealed and quenched complexities (i.e. the entropy densities) of the metastable states with given magnetization are calculated as a function of the external magnetic field. The results show that the appearance of a (disorder-induced) out-of-equilibrium phase transition in the magnetization hysteresis loop at low disorder can be ascribed to a change in the distribution of the metastable states in the field-magnetization plane.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-10-05T10:05:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "metastable states", "numerical study", "random regular graphs", "random field ising model", "magnetization hysteresis loop" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0710.1170P" } } }
