The degenerate ground states are usually composed of isolated clusters (two-level systems) embedded in a frozen background. We calculate the paramagnetic response (sublattice response) and the ground state entropy for the RFIM (DAFF) due to these clusters. In both two and three dimensions there is a broad regime in which these quantities are strictly positive, even at irrational values of h/J (J is the exchange constant).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v5", "updated": "1998-10-08T20:04:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "ground state structure", "random magnets", "exact optimization methods", "degenerate ground states", "ground state entropy" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
