Critical level crossings and gapless spin liquid in the square-lattice spin-$1/2$ $J_1$-$J_2$ Heisenberg antiferromagnet

Abstract

We use the DMRG method to calculate several energy eigenvalues of the frustrated $S=1/2$ square-lattice $J_1$-$J_2$ Heisenberg model on $2L\times L$ cylinders with $L\le 10$. We identify excited-level crossings versus the coupling ratio $g=J_2/J_1$ and study their drifts with the system size $L$. The lowest singlet-triplet and singlet-quintuplet crossings converge rapidly (with corrections $\propto L^{-2}$) to different $g$ values, and we argue that these correspond to ground-state transitions between the Néel antiferromagnet and a gapless spin liquid, at $g_{c1}\approx 0.46$, and between the spin liquid and a valence-bond-solid at $g_{c2}\approx 0.52$. Previous studies of order parameters were not able to positively discriminate between an extended spin liquid phase and a critical point. We expect level-crossing analysis to be a generically powerful tool in DMRG studies of quantum phase transitions.
