Ground-state properties of the two-dimensional
S=1/2 random Heisenberg models are investigated by the exact-diagonalization method. The phase diagram of the bond-random model (the
±J model) is the same as that of the corresponding Ising spin glass model, in spite of quantum fluctuation. In the site-random model, the spin glass phase exists at least in the ferro-rich case. In comparison with the corresponding Ising model, the Néel phase of this model becomes much narrower in the ferro-rich case, while it is comparable in the antiferro-rich case.

Ground-state properties of the two-dimensional S = 1/2 random Heisenberg models are investigated by the exact-diagonalization method. The phase diagram of the bondrandom model (the ±J model) is the same as that of the corresponding Ising spin glass model, in spite of quantum fluctuation.

In comparison with the corresponding Ising model, the Néel phase of this model becomes much narrower in the ferro-rich case, while it is comparable in the antiferro-rich case.
The two-dimensional
S=1/2 asymmetric Heisenberg Mattis model is investigated with the exact diagonalization of finite clusters. The Néel order parameter and the spin glass order parameter can be smoothly extrapolated to the thermodynamic limit in the antiferromagnetic region, as in the pure Heisenberg antiferromagnet. The critical concentration of the Néel phase is consistent with that of the two-dimensional Ising Mattis model, and the spin glass order parameter increases monotonously as the ferro-bond concentration increases. These facts suggest that quantum fluctuation does not play an essential role in two-dimensional non-frustrated random spin systems.
