Abstract

We have studied the phase transition behaviour of the random field Ising model in the presence of a transverse (or tunnelling) field. The mean field phase diagram has been studied in detail, and in particular the nature of the transition induced by the tunnelling (transverse) field at zero temperature. A modified hyperscaling relation for the zero-temperature transition has been derived using the Suzuki - Trotter formalism and a modified `Harris criterion'. A mapping of the model to a randomly diluted antiferromagnetic Ising model in uniform longitudinal and transverse field is also given.
