Abstract

A two-dimensional (2D) spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model with a specific kind of quenched disorder is investigated, using the first principles nonperturbative quantum Monte Carlo calculations (QMC). The employed disorder distribution has a tunable parameter pp which can be considered as a measure of the corresponding randomness. In particular, when p=0p=0 the disordered system becomes the clean one. Through a large scale QMC, the dynamic critical exponents zz, the ground state energy densities E0E_0, as well as the Wilson ratios WW of various pp are determined with high precision. Interestingly, we find that the pp dependence of zz and WW are likely to be complementary to each other. For instance, while the zz of 0.4p0.90.4 \le p \le 0.9 match well among themselves and are statistically different from z=1z=1 which corresponds to the clean system, the WW for p<0.7p < 0.7 are in reasonable good agreement with that of p=0p=0. The technical subtlety of calculating these physical quantities for a disordered system is demonstrated as well. The results presented here are not only interesting from a theoretical perspective, but also can serve as benchmarks for future related studies.
