Percolation on Lieb lattices

Abstract

We study site- and bond-percolation on a class of lattices referred to as Lieb lattices. In two dimensions the Lieb lattice (LL) is also known as the decorated square lattice, or as the CuO_{2} lattice; in three dimensions it can be generalized to a layered Lieb lattice or to a perovskite lattice. Emergent electronic phenomena, such as topological states and ferrimagnetism, have been predicted to occur in these systems, which may be realized in optical lattices as well as in solid state. Since the study of the interplay between quantum fluctuations and disorder in these systems requires the availability of accurate estimates of geometrical critical parameters, such as percolation thresholds and correlation length exponents, here we use Monte Carlo simulations to obtain these data for LLs when a site (or bond) is present with probability p. We have found that the thresholds satisfy a mean-field (Bethe lattice) trend, namely that the critical concentration, p_{c}, increases as the average coordination number decreases; our estimates for the correlation length exponent are in line with the expectation that there is no change in the universality class.

Quantum percolation on Lieb Lattices

W. S. Oliveira, J.P. de Lima, Raimundo R. dos Santos

We theoretically investigate the quantum percolation problem on Lieb lattices in two and three dimensions. We study the statistics of the energy levels through random matrix theory and determine the level spacing distributions, which, with the aid of finite-size scaling theory, allows us to obtain accurate estimates for site- and bond-percolation thresholds and critical exponents. Our numerical investigation supports a localized-delocalized transition at finite threshold, which decreases as the average coordination number increases. The precise determination of the localization length exponent enables us to claim that quantum site- and bond-percolation problems on Lieb lattices belong to the same universality class, with ν decreasing with lattice dimensionality d, similarly to the classical percolation problem. In addition, we verify that, in three dimensions, quantum percolation on Lieb lattices belongs to the same universality class as the Anderson impurity model.

Two- and three-dimensional site-bond-correlated percolation

N. S. Branco, Kleber D. Machado

We study the site-bond-correlated percolation model in two and three dimensions. In this model, two first-neighbor sites are considered to be joined by an active bond if both are present and if their first neighbors, along the line joining them, are also present. Using a Monte Carlo renormalization-group approach, we calculate percolation thresholds and critical exponents for both square and simple cubic lattices. Our results indicate that the correlated model is in the same universality class as usual percolation, in two and three dimensions; the critical probabilities for the square and simple cubic lattices are found to be 0.7402\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.0002 and 0.5660\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.0004, respectively.

Percolation on two- and three-dimensional lattices

P. H. L. Martins, J. A. Plascak

In this work we apply a highly efficient Monte Carlo algorithm recently proposed by Newman and Ziff to treat percolation problems. The site and bond percolations are studied on a number of lattices in two and three dimensions. Quite good results for the wrapping probabilities, correlation length critical exponent, and critical concentration are obtained for the square, simple cubic, hexagonal close packed, and hexagonal lattices by using relatively small systems. We also confirm the universal aspect of the wrapping probabilities regarding site and bond dilution.

Quantum Percolation in Two-Dimensional Antiferromagnets

Rong Yu, Tommaso Roscilde, Stephan Haas

The interplay of geometric randomness and strong quantum fluctuations is an exciting topic in quantum many-body physics, leading to the emergence of novel quantum phases in strongly correlated electron systems. Recent investigations have focused on the case of homogeneous site and bond dilution in the quantum antiferromagnet on the square lattice, reporting a classical geometric percolation transition between magnetic order and disorder. In this study we show how inhomogeneous bond dilution leads to percolative quantum phase transitions, which we have studied extensively by quantum Monte Carlo simulations. Quantum percolation introduces a new class of two-dimensional spin liquids, characterized by an infinite percolating network with vanishing antiferromagnetic order parameter.

Percolation transitions in two dimensions

Xiaomei Feng, Youjin Deng, Henk W. J. Blöte

We investigate bond- and site-percolation models on several two-dimensional lattices numerically, by means of transfer-matrix calculations and Monte Carlo simulations. The lattices include the square, triangular, honeycomb kagome, and diced lattices with nearest-neighbor bonds, and the square lattice with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor bonds. Results are presented for the bond-percolation thresholds of the kagome and diced lattices, and the site-percolation thresholds of the square, honeycomb, and diced lattices. We also include the bond- and site-percolation thresholds for the square lattice with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor bonds. We find that corrections to scaling behave according to the second temperature dimension X_{t2}=4 predicted by the Coulomb gas theory and the theory of conformal invariance. In several cases there is evidence for an additional term with the same exponent, but modified by a logarithmic factor. Only for the site-percolation problem on the triangular lattice does such a logarithmic term appear to be small or absent. The amplitude of the power-law correction associated with X_{t2}=4 is found to be dependent on the orientation of the lattice with respect to the cylindrical geometry of the finite systems.

Quantum Phase Transition of Two-Dimensional Diluted Heisenberg Antiferromagnet

Synge Todo, Chitoshi Yasuda, Kiyoshi Katō +4 more

Quantum phase transition of site-diluted and bond-diluted Heisenberg antiferromagnets on square lattices is studied. By using the novel continuous-time loop algorithm, we perform quantum Monte Carlo simulations on quite larger lattices at extremely lower temperatures than the previous numerical studies. It is found that the antiferromagnetic long-range order at T = 0 persists so long as a cluster of magnetic sites percolates, that is, the critical concentration is equal to the classical percolation threshold, in both of the site-diluted and bond-diluted cases. Furthermore, we find that some critical exponents, such as the magnetization exponent β, are non-classical and strongly depend on the spin size S. On the other hand, we show that the correlation-length exponent ν is universal and is equal to the classical value (ν=4/3).
