二维随机单重态的量子临界标度性质

Quantum-critical scaling properties of the two-dimensional random-singlet state

Lu Liu, Wenan Guo, Anders W. Sandvik

摘要:

我们利用QMC模拟研究了无序对交换常数为$J$的正方形晶格上的$S=1/2$海森堡模型的影响,该模型中补充了多自旋相互作用$Q$。最近发现[L。Lu等人,Phys. Rev. X 8,041040(2018)],该具有随机耦合的$J$ - $Q$模型的基态经历从Néel态到随机诱导的自旋液体状态的量子相变,该状态与随机海森堡链的众所周知的随机单线态(RS)非常相似。2D RS态来自于位于拓扑缺陷处的自旋子。相互作用的自旋子形成了一个临界态,其平均自旋-自旋关联随距离$r$衰减为$r^{-2}$,与一维RS态一样。动态指数$z \ge 2$随模型参数连续变化。本文进一步研究了具有随机$Q$耦合的$J$ - $Q$模型中RS态的性质.我们研究了足够大的系统,以达到热力学极限的比热和各种磁化率的温度依赖性,并分析了临界磁序参量和它的磁化率在基态的尺寸依赖性。对于所有这些量,我们发现与传统的量子临界标度的$r^{-2}$形式的自旋相关性所隐含的条件时,施加的一致性。在固定的模型参数下,所有的量都可以用相同的动态指数$z$值来解释。我们认为,在$J$ - $Q$模型中确定的RS状态对应于一个通用的重整化群固定点,可以在许多量子磁体与随机耦合,并可能已经被实验观察到。

英文摘要:

We use QMC simulations to study effects of disorder on the $S=1/2$ Heisenberg model with exchange constant $J$ on the square lattice supplemented by multispin interactions $Q$. It was found recently [L. Lu et al., Phys. Rev. X 8, 041040 (2018)] that the ground state of this $J$-$Q$ model with random couplings undergoes a quantum phase transition from the Néel state into a randomness-induced spin-liquid-like state that is a close analogue to the well known random-singlet (RS) state of the random Heisenberg chain. The 2D RS state arises from spinons localized at topological defects. The interacting spinons form a critical state with mean spin-spin correlations decaying with distance $r$ as $r^{-2}$, as in the 1D RS state. The dynamic exponent $z \ge 2$, varying continuously with the model parameters. We here further investigate the properties of the RS state in the $J$-$Q$ model with random $Q$ couplings. We study the temperature dependence of the specific heat and various susceptibilities for large enough systems to reach the thermodynamic limit and also analyze the size dependence of the critical magnetic order parameter and its susceptibility in the ground state. For all these quantities, we find consistency with conventional quantum-critical scaling when the condition implied by the $r^{-2}$ form of the spin correlations is imposed. All quantities can be explained by the same value of the dynamic exponent $z$ at fixed model parameters. We argue that the RS state identified in the $J$-$Q$ model corresponds to a generic renormalization group fixed point that can be reached in many quantum magnets with random couplings, and may already have been observed experimentally.
