二维量子磁体中的无隙边缘态及其稳定性

Gapless edge states and their stability in two-dimensional quantum magnets

Takafumi Suzuki, Masahiro Sato

摘要:

利用量子蒙特卡罗模拟研究了二维自旋1/2反铁磁体的自发二聚态和非自发二聚态的边缘态性质。我们发现,一个无隙的边缘模式出现在广泛的区域的二聚相,和临界指数的自旋扩散沿边缘偏离的Tomonaga-Luttinger(TL)的液体普适性在大型但有限的系统在低温下的值。我们还证明了在边缘的无间隙性质是稳定的几个扰动,如外部磁场,易平面XXZ各向异性,Dzyaloshinskiii-Moriya相互作用,和进一步的邻居交换相互作用。边缘态表现出非TL-液体行为,强烈依赖于模型参数和扰动的种类。检测这些边缘状态的可能途径进行了讨论。本文所给出的边缘态的性质也可以作为研究其他奇异带隙磁相(如自旋液体)边缘态的参考点。

英文摘要:

We study the nature of edge states in extrinsically and spontaneously dimerized states of two-dimensional spin-1/2 antiferromagnets, by performing quantum Monte Carlo simulation. We show that a gapless edge mode emerges in the wide region of the dimerized phases, and the critical exponent of spin correlators along the edge deviates from the value of Tomonaga-Luttinger (TL) liquid universality in large but finite systems at low temperatures. We also demonstrate that the gapless nature at edges is stable against several perturbations such as external magnetic field, easy-plane XXZ anisotropy, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, and further-neighbor exchange interactions. The edge states exhibit non TL-liquid behavior, depending strongly on model parameters and kinds of perturbations. Possible ways of detecting these edge states are discussed. Properties of edge states we show in this paper could also be used as reference points to study other edge states of more exotic gapped magnetic phases such as spin liquids.
