Abstract
The thermodynamic properties of the two-dimensional Ising model with random (+or-J) nearest-neighbour interactions are determined using a numerical transfer matrix method. The calculations are performed on a long strip of width L(3<or=L<or=11) with periodic boundary conditions and finite-size scaling arguments are used to extrapolate to L= infinity . The central result is that the spin-glass correlation length diverges as T- nu at low temperature T with nu =2.59+or-0.13. The heat capacity is similar to the Schottky anomaly. At zero temperature the entropy per spin is 0.0701+or-0.0005 and the internal energy per spin is -(1.4024+or-0.0012)J.
