Spin Dependence of Correlations in Two-Dimensional Quantum Heisenberg Antiferromagnets

Condensed Matter 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

We present a series expansion study of spin-S square-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnets. The numerical data are in excellent agreement with recent neutron scattering measurements. Our key result is that the correlation length for S>1/2 strongly deviates from the exact T->0 (renormalized classical, or RC) scaling prediction for all experimentally and numerically accessible temperatures. We note basic trends with S of the experimental and series expansion correlation length data and propose a scaling crossover scenario to explain them.
