The hidden Mattis phase, the spin ordering phase in the frustrationless state suggested previously in the annealed Ising system with competing interactions, is investigated by the replica method in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model. An expression for the order parameter of Edwards-Anderson type is obtained for the hidden Mattis phase.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
