Abstract

We simulate the three-dimensional quantum Heisenberg model with a spatially anisotropic ladder pattern using the first principles Monte Carlo method. Our motivation is to investigate quantitatively the newly established universal relation TN/c3T_N/\sqrt{c^3} \propto Ms{\cal M}_s near the quantum critical point (QCP) associated with dimerization. Here TNT_N, cc, and Ms{\cal M}_s are the N\'eel temperature, the spinwave velocity, and the staggered magnetization density, respectively. For all the physical quantities considered here, such as TNT_N and Ms{\cal M}_s, our Monte Carlo results agree nicely with the corresponding results determined by the series expansion method. In addition, we find it is likely that the effect of a logarithmic correction, which should be present in (3+1)-dimensions, to the relation TN/c3T_N/\sqrt{c^3} \propto Ms{\cal M}_s near the investigated QCP only sets in significantly in the region with strong spatial anisotropy.
