Disorder Induced Phase Transition in a Random Quantum Antiferromagnet

Condensed Matter 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

A two-dimensional Heisenberg model with random antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor exchange is studied using quantum Monte Carlo techniques. As the strength of the randomness is increased, the system undergoes a transition from an antiferromagnetically ordered ground state to a gapless disordered state. The finite-size scaling of the staggered structure factor and susceptibility is consistent with a dynamic exponent z=2z = 2.
