The numerical value for a universal quantity of a two-dimensional dimerized quantum antiferromagnet

Abstract

The numerical value of a universal quantity associated with the quantum critical regime, namely ${\chi }_u{c}^2/T$, for a two-dimensional (2D) dimerized spin-1/2 antiferromagnet is calculated using the quantum Monte Carlo simulations (QMC). Here ${\chi }_u$, $c$, and $T$ are the uniform susceptibility, the spin-wave velocity, and the temperature, respectively. By simulating large lattices at moderately low temperatures, we find ${\chi }_u{c}^2/T\sim 0.32$. Our estimation of ${\chi }_u{c}^2/T$ deviates from the related analytic prediction but agrees with recent numerical calculations of other 2D dimerized spin-1/2 antiferromagnets.
