Universal quantum-critical dynamics of two-dimensional antiferromagnets.

چکیده
The universal dynamic and static properties of two dimensional antiferromagnets in the vicinity of a zero-temperature phase transition from long-range magnetic order to a quantum disordered phase are studied. Random antiferromagnets with both Néel and spin-glass longrange magnetic order are considered. Explicit quantum-critical dynamic scaling functions are computed in a 1/N expansion to two-loops for certain non-random, frustrated square lattice antiferromagnets. Implications for neutron scattering experiments on the doped cuprates are noted.

Quantum Antiferromagnets in Two Dimensions
I review recent work, performed in collaboration primarily with N. Read and Jinwu Ye, on the properties of quantum antiferromagnets in two dimensions. The emphasis is on the properties of the antiferromagnet in states which do not have any long-range magnetic order. The universal spin dynamics in the quantum critical region of number of frustrated and random antiferromagnets is studied; implica...
متن کاملVector boson excitations near deconfined quantum critical points.
We show that the Néel states of two-dimensional antiferromagnets have low energy vector boson excitations in the vicinity of deconfined quantum critical points. We compute the universal damping of these excitations arising from spin-wave emission. Detection of such a vector boson will demonstrate the existence of emergent topological gauge excitations in a quantum spin system.
متن کاملTheory of two-dimensional quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnets with a nearly critical ground state.
We present the general theory of clean, two-dimensional, quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnets which are close to the zero-temperature quantum transition between ground states with and without long-range Néel order. While some of our discussion is more general, the bulk of our theory will be restricted to antiferromagnets in which the Néel order is described by a 3-vector order parameter. For Née...
متن کاملImpurity spin textures across conventional and deconfined quantum critical points of two-dimensional antiferromagnets
We describe the spin distribution in the vicinity of a non-magnetic impurity in a two-dimensional antiferromagnet undergoing a transition from a magnetically ordered Néel state to a paramagnet with a spin gap. The quantum critical ground state in a finite system has total spin S = 1/2 (if the system without the impurity had an even number of S = 1/2 spins), and recent numerical studies in a dou...
متن کاملImpurity induced spin texture in quantum critical 2D antiferromagnets.
We describe the uniform and staggered magnetization distributions around a vacancy in a quantum critical two-dimensional S=1/2 antiferromagnet. The distributions are delocalized across the entire sample with a universal functional form arising from an uncompensated Berry phase. The numerical results, obtained using quantum Monte Carlo simulations of the Heisenberg model on bilayer lattices with...
