Abstract

We use quantum Monte Carlo simulations to study a dimer-diluted S=1/2S=1/2 Heisenberg model on a bilayer square lattice with intralayer interaction J1J_{1} and interlayer interaction J2J_{2}. Below the classical percolation threshold pcp_c, the system has three phases reachable by tuning the interaction ratio g=J2/J1g=J_{2}/J_{1}: a Neˊ\acute{e}el ordered phase, a gapless quantum glass phase, and a gapped quantum paramagnetic phase. We present the ground-state phase diagram in the plane of dilution pp and interaction ratio gg. The quantum glass phase is certified to be of the gapless Mott glass type, having a uniform susceptibility vanishing at zero temperature TT and following a stretched exponential form at T>0T>0; χuexp(b/Tα)\chi_u \sim \exp(-b/T^{\alpha}) with α<1\alpha < 1. At the phase transition point from Neˊ\acute{e}el ordered to Mott glass, we find that the critical exponents are different from those of the clean system described by the standard O(3)O(3) universality class in 2+1 dimensions.
