Abstract

Motivated by experimental observation of the non-magnetic phase in the compounds with frustration and disorder, we study the ground state of the spin-1/21/2 square-lattice Heisenberg model with randomly distributed nearest-neighbor J1J_1 and next-nearest-neighbor J2J_2 couplings. By using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) calculation on cylinder system with circumference up to 1010 lattice sites, we identify a disordered phase between the N\'eel and stripe magnetic phase with growing J2/J1J_2 / J_1 in the presence of strong bond randomness. The vanished spin-freezing parameter indicates the absence of spin glass order. The large-scale DMRG results unveil the size-scaling behaviors of the spin-freezing parameter, the power-law decay of the average spin correlation, and the exponential decay of the typical spin correlation, which all agree with the corresponding behavior in the one-dimensional random singlet (RS) state and characterize the RS nature of this disordered phase. The DMRG simulation also provides insights and opportunities for characterizing a class of non-magnetic states in two-dimensional frustrated magnets with disorder. We also compare with existing experiments and suggest more measurements for understanding the spin-liquid-like behaviors in the double perovskite Sr2_2CuTe1x_{1-x}Wx_{x}O6_6.
