Monte Carlo simulation of ice models
We propose a number of Monte Carlo algorithms for the simulation of ice models and compare their efficiency. One of them, a cluster algorithm for the equivalent three colour model, appears to have a dynamic exponent close to zero, making it particularly useful for simulations of critical ice models. We have performed extensive simulations using our algorithms to determine a number of critical e...
متن کاملCondensed Matter Unconventional Phases in Doped or Frustrated Quantum Antiferromagnets: a Systematic QMC Study
We investigate the ground-state properties of two strongly-correlated systems: the two-dimensional t−J model that can be used to study the high-temperature superconducting phase in the doped antiferromagnet, and the frustrated Néel antiferromagnet described by the J1 − J2 Heisenberg model on the square lattice, which is widely considered as the prototype model for spin frustration. In this thes...
متن کاملComprehensive quantum Monte Carlo study of the quantum critical points in planar dimerized/quadrumerized Heisenberg models
We study two planar square lattice Heisenberg models with explicit dimerization or quadrumerization of the couplings in the form of ladder and plaquette arrangements. We investigate the quantum critical points of those models by means of stochastic series expansion quantum Monte Carlo simulations as a function of the coupling ratio =J /J. The critical point of the order-disorder quantum phase t...
متن کاملEvidence of Unconventional Universality Class in a Two-Dimensional Dimerized Quantum Heisenberg Model
The two-dimensional J-J ′ dimerized quantum Heisenberg model is studied on the square lattice by means of (stochastic series expansion) quantum Monte Carlo simulations as a function of the coupling ratio α = J /J . The critical point of the order-disorder quantum phase transition in the J-J ′ model is determined as αc = 2.5196(2) by finite-size scaling for up to approximately 10 000 quantum spi...
متن کاملFePd3 as a material for studying thermally active artificial spin ice systems
We report FePd3 as a material for studying thermally active artificial spin ice (ASI) systems and use it to investigate both the square and kagome ice geometries. We readily achieve perfect ground state ordering in the square lattice and demonstrate the highest yet degree of monopole charge ordering in the kagome lattice. We find that smaller lattice constants in the kagome system generally pro...
