Abstract

Using the first-principles quantum Monte Carlo calculations, we investigate the previously established universal scaling, as well as the corresponding classification schemes, for the N\'eel temperature ${T}_{N}$ and the staggered magnetization density ${M}_{s}$ of three-dimensional dimerized quantum antiferromagnets. Particularly, the calculations are done on both the stacked honeycomb and cubic lattices. In addition to simulating models with two types of antiferromagnetic couplings (bonds) like those examined in earlier studies, here a tunable parameter controlling the strength of the third type of bond is introduced. Interestingly, while minor effects due to microscopic details appear, the data for the studied models with two types of bonds do fall on top of the universal scaling curves determined previously. Moreover, the most striking result suggested in our study is that with the presence of three kinds of bonds in the investigated models, the considered scaling relations between ${T}_{N}$ and ${M}_{s}$ can be classified by the coordination number of the underlying lattice geometries. The findings presented here broaden the applicability of the associated classification schemes formerly discovered. In particular, these results not only are interesting from a theoretical point of view but also can serve as useful guidelines for the relevant experiments.

Universal scaling of Néel temperature, staggered magnetization density, and spin-wave velocity of three-dimensional disordered and clean quantum antiferromagnets

D.-R. Tan, Fu-Jiun Jiang

The N\'eel temperature, staggered magnetization density, as well as the spin-wave velocity of a three-dimensional (3D) quantum Heisenberg model with antiferromagnetic disorder (randomness) are calculated using first-principles nonperturbative quantum Monte Carlo simulations. In particular, we examine the validity of universal scaling relations that are related to these three studied physical quantities. These relations are relevant to experimental data and are firmly established for clean (regular) 3D dimerized spin-1/2 Heisenberg models. Remarkably, our numerical results show that the considered scaling relations remain true for the investigated model with the introduced disorder. In addition, while the presence of disorder may change the physical properties of regular dimerized models, hence leading to different critical theories, both the obtained data of N\'eel temperature and staggered magnetization density in our study are fully compatible with the expected critical behavior for clean dimerized systems. As a result, it is persuasive to conclude that the related quantum phase transitions of the considered disordered model and its clean analogues are governed by the same critical theory, which is not always the case in general. Finally, we also find smooth scaling curves even emerging when both the data of the investigated disordered model as well as its associated clean system are taken into account concurrently. This in turn implies that, while in a restricted sense, the considered scaling relations for 3D spin-1/2 antiferromagnets are indeed universal.

Universal properties of three-dimensional random-exchange quantum antiferromagnets

D.-R. Tan, Fu-Jiun Jiang

The thermal and ground state properties of a class of three-dimensional (3D) random-exchange spin-1/2 antiferromagnets are studied using first principles quantum Monte Carlo method. Our motivation is to examine whether the newly discovered universal properties, which connect the Néel temperature and the staggered magnetization density, for the clean 3D quantum dimerized Heisenberg models remain valid for the random-exchange models considered here. Remarkably, similar to the clean systems, our Monte Carlo results indicate that these universal relations also emerge for the considered models with the introduced antiferromagnetic randomness. The scope of the validity of these universal properties for the 3D quantum antiferromagnets is investigated as well.

Cubic interactions and quantum criticality in dimerized antiferromagnets

Lars Fritz, R. L. Doretto, Stefan Weßel +3 more

In certain Mott-insulating dimerized antiferromagnets, triplet excitations of the paramagnetic phase display both three-particle and four-particle interactions. When such a magnet undergoes a quantum phase transition into a magnetically ordered state, the three-particle interaction becomes part of the critical theory provided that the lattice ordering wave vector is zero. One microscopic example is the staggered-dimer antiferromagnet on the square lattice, for which deviations from O(3) universality have been reported in numerical studies. Using both symmetry arguments and microscopic calculations, we show that a nontrivial cubic term arises in the relevant order-parameter quantum field theory, and we assess its consequences using a combination of analytical and numerical methods. We also present finite-temperature quantum Monte Carlo data for the staggered-dimer antiferromagnet which complement recently published results. The data can be consistently interpreted in terms of critical exponents identical to that of the standard O(3) universality class, but with anomalously large corrections to scaling. We argue that the cubic interaction of critical triplons, although irrelevant in two spatial dimensions, is responsible for the leading corrections to scaling due to its small scaling dimension.

Universal quantum criticality at finite temperature for two-dimensional disordered and clean dimerized spin- 12 antiferromagnets

D.-R. Tan, Fu-Jiun Jiang

The quantum critical regimes (QCR) of both a two-dimensional (2D) disordered spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ antiferromagnet and a 2D clean dimerized quantum Heisenberg model are studied using the first-principles nonperturbative quantum Monte Carlo simulations. In particular, the three well-known universal coefficients associated with QCR are investigated in detail. While in our investigation we find the obtained results are consistent with the related analytic predictions, non-negligible finite-temperature ($T$) effects are observed. Moreover, a striking finding in our study is that the numerical value for one of the universal coefficients we determine is likely to be different significantly from the corresponding (theoretical) result(s) established in the literature. To better understand the sources for the discrepancy observed here, apart from carrying out the associated analytic calculations not considered previously, it will be desirable as well to conduct a comprehensive examination of the exotic features of QCR for other disordered and clean spin systems than those investigated in this study.

Multiplicative logarithmic corrections to quantum criticality in three-dimensional dimerized antiferromagnets

Yan Qin, Bruce Normand, Anders W. Sandvik +1 more

We investigate the quantum phase transition in an $S=1/2$ dimerized Heisenberg antiferromagnet in three spatial dimensions. By performing large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations and detailed finite-size scaling analyses, we obtain high-precision results for the quantum critical properties at the transition from the magnetically disordered dimer-singlet phase to the antiferromagnetically ordered N\'eel phase. This transition breaks $\text{O}(N)$ symmetry with $N=3$ in $D=3+1$ dimensions. This is the upper critical dimension, where multiplicative logarithmic corrections to the leading mean-field critical properties are expected; we extract these corrections, establishing their precise forms for both the zero-temperature staggered magnetization ${m}_{s}$ and the N\'eel temperature ${T}_{N}$. We present a scaling ansatz for ${T}_{N}$, including logarithmic corrections, which agrees with our data and indicates exact linearity with ${m}_{s}$, implying a complete decoupling of quantum and thermal fluctuation effects even arbitrarily close to the quantum critical point. We also demonstrate the predicted $N$-independent leading and subleading logarithmic corrections in the size dependence of the staggered magnetic susceptibility. These logarithmic scaling forms have not previously been identified or verified by unbiased numerical methods, and we discuss their relevance to experimental studies of dimerized quantum antiferromagnets such as ${\mathrm{TlCuCl}}_{3}$.

Universality in the three-dimensional random bond quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet

Ulvi Kanbur, Erol Vatansever, Hamza Polat

The three-dimensional quenched random bond diluted $({J}_{1}\ensuremath{-}{J}_{2})$ quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet is studied on a simple-cubic lattice. Using extensive stochastic series expansion quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we perform very long runs for an $L\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}L\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}L$ lattice up to $L=48$. By employing a standard finite-size scaling method, the numerical values of the N\'eel temperature are determined with high precision as a function of the coupling ratio $r={J}_{2}/{J}_{1}$. Based on the estimated critical exponents, we find that the critical behavior of the considered model belongs to the pure classical three-dimensional $O(3)$ Heisenberg universality class.
