Effective critical behavior of the two-dimensional Ising spin glass with   bimodal interactions
  Monte Carlo data of the two-dimensional Ising spin glass with bimodal interactions are presented with the aim of understanding the low-temperature physics of the model. An analysis of the specific heat, spin-glass susceptibility, finite-size correlation length, and the Binder ratio is performed to try to verify a recent proposal in which for large system sizes and finite but low temperatures the effective critical exponents are identical to the critical exponents of the two-dimensional Ising spin glass with Gaussian interactions. Our results show that with present system sizes the recently proposed scenario in which the two-dimensional Ising spin glass with bimodally distributed interactions is in the same universality class as the model with Gaussian-distributed disorder at low but finite temperatures cannot be reliably proven.
