Competition between Hidden Spin and Charge Orderings in Stripe Phase

Abstract

The correlation between charge and spin orderings in hole-doped antiferromagnets is studied within an effective model of quantum strings fluctuating in an antiferromagnetic background. In particular, we perform the direct estimation of the charge and spin long-range-order parameters by means of the quantum Monte Carlo simulation. A hidden spin long-range order is found to be governed by a competition between the two trends caused by increasing hole mobility: the enhancement of the two-dimensional spin-spin correlation mediated by hole motions and the reformation of a strong stripe order.
