Comment on the statistical mechanics of quenched random systems

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

Starting from the information theory as a basis for statistical mechanics it is shown that every system with quenched disorder can be treated as a fictitious equilibrium system. Differences with true equilibrium systems are discussed. The equivalence to the Brout-Mazo description is shown.
