Bond-Dilution Effects on Two-Dimensional Spin-Gapped Heisenberg Antiferromagnets

چکیده
Bond-dilution effects on spin-1/2 spin-gapped Heisenberg antiferromagnets of coupled alternating chains on a square lattice are investigated by means of the quantum Monte Carlo method. It is found that, in contrast with the site-diluted system having an infinitesimal critical concentration, the bond-diluted system has a finite critical concentration of diluted bonds, xc, above which the system is in an antiferromagnetic (AF) long-range ordered phase. In the disordered phase below xc, plausibly in the concentration region significantly less than xc, the system has a spin gap due to singlet pairs of induced magnetic moments reformed by the AF interactions through the two-dimensional shortest paths.

Dilution Effects on Two-Dimensional Heisenberg Antiferromagnets with Non-Magnetic Spin-Gapped Ground State
Dilution effects on spin-1/2 quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnets with a non-magnetic spin-gapped ground state are studied by means of the qunatum Monte Carlo simulation. In the site-diluted system, an antiferromagnetic long-range order (AF-LRO) is induced at an infinitesimal concentration of dilution due to an effective coupling J̃mn between induced magnetic moments. In the bond-diluted case, on...
متن کاملTopological estimator of block entanglement for Heisenberg antiferromagnets.
We introduce a computable estimator of block entanglement entropy for many-body spin systems admitting total singlet ground states. Building on a simple geometrical interpretation of entanglement entropy of the so-called valence bond states, this estimator is defined as the average number of common singlets to two subsystems of spins. We show that our estimator possesses the characteristic scal...
متن کاملValence Bond Ground States in a Frustrated Two-Dimensional Spin-1/2 Heisenberg Antiferromagnet
We study a class of two-dimensional spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnets, introduced by Klein [1], in which the nearest-neighbor term is supplemented by next-nearest-neighbor pair and four-body interactions, producing additional frustration. For certain lattices, including e.g. the hexagonal lattice, we prove that any finite subset which admits a dimer covering has a ground state space spanned ...
متن کاملFrustrated antiferromagnets with entanglement renormalization: ground state of the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on a kagome lattice.
Entanglement renormalization techniques are applied to numerically investigate the ground state of the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on a kagome lattice. Lattices of N={36,144, infinity} sites with periodic boundary conditions are considered. For the infinite lattice, the best approximation to the ground state is found to be a valence bond crystal with a 36-site unit cell, compatible with a previou...
متن کاملSpin dynamics and transport in gapped one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnets at nonzero temperatures
We present the theory of nonzero temperature (T ) spin dynamics and transport in one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnets with an energy gap ∆. For T ∆, we develop a semiclassical picture of thermally excited particles. Multiple inelastic collisions between the particles are crucial, and are described by a two-particle S-matrix which has a super-universal form at low momenta. This is establi...
