Exact approach to equilibrium for the glauber model of a one-dimensional Ising system with random ±J bonds
The (discrete-time) Glauber model is considered for a one-dimensional system of spins sj = ±1 with nearest-neighbor Ising interaction H = -ΣjJjsjsj+1. The Jj = ±J are treated as random variables with an arbitrary joint probability p(J). The exact time-dependent average 〈sj〉t is determined, and from it the “quenched” average 〈〈sj〉t〉av=ΣJp(J)〈sj〉t is explicitly found.
