Abstract
A calculation is made of the effect on the critical temperature of a ferromagnet whose exchange integrals are taken to be random variables. The Bethe-Peierls-Weiss approximation is used to find the partition function, Z, for an Ising system and then a configuration average is taken to find (InZ), from which the resulting decrease in the critical temperature can be found. Other results are discussed, and comparisons made with the present result.
