Random Bond Ising Model

Disorder-induced Griffiths phase and shifted critical temperature

M = — | T_c (clean) = 2.269
2D Ising with random bonds J_ij ∈ [J-Δ, J+Δ]. Weak disorder (Δ small): T_c shifts slightly, transition remains sharp. Strong disorder (Δ→1): Griffiths phase — rare strongly-coupled clusters stay ordered above T_c, creating non-analytic free energy. Left: spin configuration. Right: magnetization vs T curve (blue = current disorder, orange reference = clean Ising).
