Scaling in the Fan of an Unconventional Quantum Critical Point
arXiv:0707.2961 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.100.017203
Abstract
We present results of extensive finite-temperature Quantum Monte Carlo simulations on a SU(2) symmetric S=1/2 quantum antiferromagnet with a four-spin interaction [Sandvik, Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 227202 (2007)]. Our simulations, which are free of the sign-problem and carried out on lattices containing in excess of 1.6 X 10^4 spins, indicate that the four-spin interaction destroys the Néel order at an unconventional z=1 quantum critical point, producing a valence-bond solid paramagnet. Our results are consistent with the `deconfined quantum criticality' scenario.
