Quantum Phases of the Shraiman-Siggia Model

arXiv:cond-mat/9311037 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.49.6770

Abstract

We examine phases of the Shraiman-Siggia model of lightly-doped, square lattice quantum antiferromagnets in a self-consistent, two-loop, interacting magnon analysis. We find magnetically-ordered and quantum-disordered phases both with and without incommensurate spin correlations. The quantum disordered phases have a pseudo-gap in the spin excitation spectrum. The quantum transition between the magnetically ordered and commensurate quantum-disordered phases is argued to have the dynamic critical exponent and the same leading critical behavior as the disordering transition in the pure sigma model. The relationship to experiments on the doped cuprates is discussed.
