Quantum Phase Transitions of Quasi-One-Dimensional Heisenberg Antiferromagnets
arXiv:cond-mat/0310619
Abstract
We study the ground-state phase transitions of quasi-one-dimensional quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnets by the quantum Monte Carlo method with the continuous-time loop algorithm and finite-size scaling. For a model which consists of S=1 chains with bond alternation coupled on a square lattice, we determine the ground state phase diagram and the universality class of the quantum phase transitions.
