Correlation functions and properties of local distributions of frustrated phases in the ground state of a dilute Ising chain in a magnetic field

Abstract

The features of the response of frustrated states to the external field are considered on the example of a diluted Ising chain. In the ferromagnetic case, partial ordering occurs, which leads to a decrease in entropy. In the antiferromagnetic case, the switching on of the field leads to the appearance of a long-range order in the system, although the state remains frustrated. A mapping of a one-dimensional spin model to a Markov chain is proposed, which makes it possible to study in detail the properties of correlation functions and local distributions of the states in the spin chain.
