The Staggered Magnetization of the Square Lattice Frustrated Heisenberg Model

Spin-wave expansion is used to evaluate the staggered magnetization of frustrated antiferromagnetic (AF) Heisenberg model with next-nearest-neighbor exchange couplings on a square lattice to the order O(1/S) at zero temperature. It is shown that the O(1/S) order correction increases the staggered magnetization and its presence invalidates the conventional spin- wave conclusions at large frustrations. We apply the mean-field approximation to deal with the quartic terms in the Hamiltonian of the Holstein-Primakoff transformation. A phaqe diagtam is obtained, suggesting that the NCel order is not destroyed for S≥1 at any frustration, while for S = 1/2 there may exist a disordered phase for strong frustrations.

Quantum Phase Transition and Local Entanglement in Extended Hubbard Model on Anisotropic Triangular Lattices

Using a mean-field theory based upon Hartree-Fock approximation, we theoretically investigate the competition between the metallic conductivity, spin order and charge order phases in a two-dimensional half-filled extended Hubbard model on anisotropic triangular lattice. Bond order, double occupancy, spin and charge structure factor are calculated, and the phase diagram of the extended Hubbard model is presented. It is found that the interplay of strong interaction and geometric frustration leads to exotic phases, the charge fluctuation is enhanced and three kinds of charge orders appear with the introduction of the nearest-neighbor interaction. Moreover, for different frustrations, it is also found that the antiferromagnetic insulating phase and nonmagnetic insulating phase are rapidly suppressed, and eventually disappeared as the ratio between the nearest-neighbor interaction and on-site interaction increases. This indicates that spin order is also sensitive to the nearest-neighbor interaction. Finally, the single-site entanglement is calculated and it is found that a clear discontinuous of the single-site entanglement appears at the critical points of the phase transition.     

Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless Transition in a Two-Dimensional Random-Bond XY Model on a Square Lattice

We perform Monte Carlo simulations to study the two dimensional random-bond XY model on a square lattice. Two kinds of bond randomness with the coupling coefficient obeying the Gaussian or uniform distribution are discussed. It is shown that the two kinds of disorders lead to similar thermodynamic behaviors if their variances take the same value. This result implies that the variance can be chosen as a characteristic parameter to evaluate the strength of the randomness. In addition, the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition temperature decreases as the variance increases and the transition can even be destroyed as long as the disorder is strong enough.     

Phase Transitions in a Driven Lattice Gas with Anisotropic Interactions

The Ising lattice gas, with its well known equilibrium properties, displays a number of surprising phenomena when driven into nonequilibrium steady states. We study such a model with anisotropic interparticle interactions (J _||J ), using both Monte Carlo simulations and high temperature series techniques. Under saturation drive, the shift in the transition temperature can be both positive and negative, depending on the ratio J _||/J ! For finite drives, both first- and second-order transitions are observed. Some aspects of the phase diagram can be predicted by investigating the two-point correlation function at the first nontrivial order of a high-temperature series expansion.     

Entropy-Driven Phase Transition in a Polydisperse Hard-Rods Lattice System

We study a system of rods onℤ², with hard-core exclusion. Each rod has a length between 2 and N. We show that, when N is sufficiently large, and for suitable fugacity, there are several distinct Gibbs states, with orientational long-range order. This is in sharp contrast with the case N = 2 (the monomer-dimer model), for which Heilmann and Lieb proved absence of phase transition at any fugacity. This is the first example of a pure hard-core system with phases displaying orientational order, but not translational order; this is a fundamental characteristic feature of liquid crystals.     

Quantum Phase Transitions and Dimerized Phases in Frustrated Spin Ladder

In this paper, we study the phase diagram of a frustrated spin ladder model by applying the bosonization technique and the density-matrix renormalization-group (DMRG) algorithm. Effect of the intra-chain next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) super-exchange interaction is investigated in detail and the order parameters are calculated to detect the emergence of the dimerized phases. We find that the intra-chain NNN interaction plays a key role in inducing dimerized phases.

Quantum Phase Transition of the Bosonic Atoms near the Feshbach Resonance in an Optical Lattice

The quantum phase transition from the Mott insulator to the superfluid phases of the bosonic atoms trapped in an optical lattice, in which the on-site interaction carl be tuned by a Feshbach resonance, is investigated by a variational approach within mean-field theory. We derive an extended Bos~Hubbard model to describe this ultracold atomic system. By theoretical calculation and analysis, the phase diagram is shown clearly, and we find an exciting and novel phenomenon that is the appearance of the Mort insulator-sea （MI-sea）. Meanwhile, the experimental feasibility of observing the MI-sea is discussed by analyzing the published data related to the Fashbaeh resonance at present. Finally, the potential application of the MI-sea for quantum information processing and quantum computation is also discussed in detail     

Effect of Quantum Fluctuation on Two-Dimensional Spatially Anisotropic Heisenberg Antiferromagnet with Integer Spin

In the present paper, we calculate the Gaussian correction to the critical value J_⊥^c caused by quantum spin fluctuation in a two-dimensional spatially anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnet with integer spin S. Previously, some authors computed this quantity by the mean-field theory based on the Schwinger boson representation of spin operators. However, for S=1, their result is much less than the one derived by numerical calculations. By taking the effect of quantum spin fluctuation into consideration, we are able to produce a greatly improved result.

Quantum Phase Transition Effect on Dynamical Decoupling: a Case Study

The effect of quantum phase transition (QPT) on the coherence retrieval by dynamical decoupling is discussed explicitly by exemplifications. Two different cases can be identified; For QPT without variant of topology, dynamical decoupling can work better than that without QPT. Whereas the systems have nontrivial topology, it displays limited improvement of retrieval of qubit coherent. This feature can be understood by the fact that dynamical decoupling is physically to average out the effect of harmful local couplings. When nontrivial topology is involved, the local operation becomes invalid. Hence one has to find more efficient way to recover qubit coherence.

Magnetic Phase Transition Driven by Frustrated Interactions in a Longitudinal‐Field Ising Chain

The ground‐state magnetic phase transitions in a classical spin chain with long‐range interactions in a system of trapped ions are investigated. The tunable competing interactions, mediated by both longitudinal and transverse photon modes, lead to competition among different spins, due to which magnetic frustration occurs. Various ground‐state spin configurations are separated by multiple phase transitions when the strength and sign of these interactions are tuned continuously. The spin chains are highly degenerated because of the frustration, so there is some melting of several magnetic phases.

A Phase Transition in a Quantum Crystal with Asymmetric Potentials

A translation invariant system of interacting quantum anharmonic oscillators indexed by the elements of a simple cubic lattice is considered. The anharmonic potential is of general type, which in particular means that it might have no symmetry. For this system, we prove that the global polarization (obtained in the thermodynamic limit) gets discontinuous at a certain value of the external field provided d ≥ 3, and the particle mass as well as the interaction intensity are big enough. The proof is based on the representation of local Gibbs states in terms of path measures and thereby on the use of the infrared estimates and the Garsia–Rodemich–Rumsey inequality.      

Superfluid-Mott-Insulator Phase Transition of Bosons in an Optical Lattice

The Bose-Hubbard model describing interacting bosons in an optical lattice is reduced to a simple spin-1 XY model with single-ion anisotropy in the vicinity of the Mort phase. We propose a mean-field theory based on a constraint SU（3） pseudo-boson representation on the effective model to study the properties of the superfluid-Mott-insulator phase transition. By calculating the elementary excitation spectra and the average particle number tluctuation in the Brillouin zone center, we lind that the energy gaps vanish continuously around （JXY/Jz）c≈ 0.175 and （JxY/Jz）c ≈ 0.094 for 2D and 3D cubic lattices respectively, where the superfluid order parameters come up from zero and the Mort insulator state changes into a superfluid state.     

Kawasaki Dynamics on Square Lattice

The bond-moving and decimation renormalization group techniques are applied to obtaining the critical dynamic exponent of the Kawasaki-king model on square lattice. The result is found to be z = z_g + 2, where z_g, is the critical dynamic exponent of the Glauber model on the same lattice. We guess that the relation may be valid for all d-dimensional systems with d≥2.
