Abstract

Using the determinant quantum Monte Carlo method, we investigate the antiferromagnetic phase transition that is induced by the Zeeman field in a disordered interacting two-dimensional Dirac fermion system. At a fixed interaction strength UU, the antiferromagnetic correlation is enhanced as the magnetic filed increases, and when the magnetic field is larger than a Bc(U)B_{c}(U), the antiferromagnetic correlation shall be suppressed by the increased magnetic field. The impact of Zeeman field BB, Coulomb repulsion UU and disorder Δ\Delta is not isolated. The intensity of magnetic field effect on the antiferromagnetic correlation shall be strongly suppressed by disorder. Differently, it will be promoted by weak interaction, but when UU becomes larger than Uc=4.5U_{c}=4.5, the increased interaction will suppress the intensity of this effect, and here Uc=4.5U_{c}=4.5 coincides with the critical strength inducing the metal-Mott insulator transition in clean system. Moreover, at a fixed magnetic field BB, strong interaction shall suppress the antiferromagnetic phase rather than promote it.
