We discuss some of the problems appearing in the Mean Field Theory of Random Heteropolymers. We show how an hypothesis of replica symmetry maps this problem onto a directed polymer in a random potential, and explain how this hypothesis can be checked through numerical simulations on directed polymers. The approach of Shaknovitch and Gutin is also reviewed in light of these findings.

We give a unifying framework for the mean-field theory for models of spin glasses and directed polymers in a random medium defined on homogeneous graphs. Their phase diagram is studied in the complex plane of temperature.

Abstract The magnetocaloric effect in nanosystems based on exchange-coupled ferromagnets with different Curie temperatures is calculated within the mean-field theory. Good agreement between the results of the mean-field theory and the Landau theory, valid near the critical phase transition temperature, is demonstrated for a flat-layered Fe/Gd/Fe structure. We show that a high magnetic cooling efficiency in this system is attainable in principle and prove the validity of the Maxwell relation, enabling an experimental verification of the predictions made. The theory developed for flat-layered structures is generalized to a granular medium.
