We discuss finite-size effects in one disordered [Formula: see text] model defined in a [Formula: see text]-dimensional Euclidean space. We consider that the scalar field satisfies periodic boundary conditions in one dimension and it is coupled with a quenched random field. In order to obtain the average value of the free energy of the system, we use the replica method. We first discuss finite-size effects in the one-loop approximation in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We show that in both cases, there is a critical length where the system develop a second-order phase transition, when the system presents long-range correlations with power-law decay. Next, we improve the above result studying the gap equation for the size-dependent squared mass, using the composite field operator method. We obtain again that the system present a second-order phase transition with long-range correlation with power-law decay.
