Quantum phase transitions in the two-dimensional J1-J2 model
Abstract
We analyze the phase diagram of the frustrated Heisenberg antiferromagnet, the J1-J2 model, in two dimensions. Two quantum phase transitions in the model are already known: the second-order transition from the Néel state to the spin liquid state at (J2/J1)c2~0.38, and the first-order transition from the spin liquid state to the collinear state at (J2/J1)c4~0.60. We have found evidence for two second-order phase transitions: the transition from the spin columnar dimerized state to the state with plaquette-type modulation at (J2/J1)c3=0.50+/-0.02, and the transition from the simple Néel state to the Néel state with spin columnar dimerization at (J2/J1)c1=0.34+/-0.04. We also present an independent calculation of (J2/J1)c2~0.38 using another approach.
