Spin Gap in Two-Dimensional Heisenberg Model for CaVO
We investigate the mechanism of spin gap formation in a two-dimensional model
relevant to Mott insulators such as CaVO. From the perturbation
expansion and quantum Monte Carlo calculations, the origin of the spin gap is
ascribed to the four-site plaquette singlet in contrast to the dimer gap
established in the generalized dimerized Heisenberg model.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures available upon request (Revtex
An Efficient Algorithm for a Bicriteria Single-Machine Scheduling Problem
This paper considers a single-machine scheduling problem in which the maximum tardiness and the total flowtime are two objectives to be minimized. Instead of enumerating all efficient schedules, the author considers the problem of minimizing the maximum of the weighted values of these two objective functions, which arises in interactive multicriteria decision making. The author proposes a strongly polynomial algorithm for this problem which runs in O(n^2 log n) time
An Epsilon-Approximation Scheme for Minimum Variance Combinatorial Problems
Suppose that we are given a finite set E, a family of feasible subsets of E and an integer cost associated with each element in E. The author considers the problem of finding a feasible subset such that the variance among the costs of elements in the subset is minimized. The author shows that if one can solve the corresponding minimum cost problem in polynomial time, it is possible to construct a fully polynomial time approximation scheme for the above minimum variance problem
An Efficient Algorithm for Bicriteria Minimum-Cost Circulation Problem
This paper is concerned with a bicriteria minimum-cost circulation problem which arises in interactive multicriteria decision making. The author presents a strongly polynomial algorithm for this problem, that is achieved by making use of the parametric characterization of optimal solutions and a strongly polynomial algorithm for the single objective minimum-cost circulation problem
An (*e-Approximation Scheme for Minimum Variance Resource Allocation Problems
The minimum variance resource allocation problem asks to allocate a given amount of discrete resource to a given set of activities so that the variance of the profits among activities is minimized. The author presents a fully polynomial time approximation scheme for this problem
Phase diagram of depleted Heisenberg model for CaV4O9
We have numerically investigated the 1/5-depleted Heisenberg square lattice
representing CaV4O9 using the Quantum Monte Carlo loop algorithm. We have
determined the phase diagram of the model as a function of the ratio of the two
different couplings: bonds within a plaquette and dimer bonds between
plaquettes. By calculating both the spin gap and the staggered magnetization we
determine the range of stability of the long range ordered (LRO) phase. At
isotropic coupling LRO survives the depletion. But the close vicinity of the
isotropic point to the spin gap phase leads us to the conclusion that already a
small frustrating next nearest neighbor interaction can drive the system into
the quantum disordered phase and thus explain the spin gap behavior of CaV4O9
Magnetic Susceptibility for
We examine experimental magnetic susceptibility for
CaVO by fitting with fitting function .
The function is a power series of 1/T and the lowest order
term is fixed as , where is the Curie constant as determined by the
experimental -value (g=1.96). Fitting parameters are , and
expansion coefficients except for the first one in .
We determine and as 0.73 and 0 for an
experimental sample. We interpret as the volume fraction of
CaVO in the sample and as the susceptibility for the
pure CaVO. The result of means that the sample includes
nonmagnetic components. This interpretation consists with the result of a
perturbation theory and a neutron scattering experiment.Comment: 4pages, 4figure
Effect of Quantum Fluctuations on Magnetic Ordering in CaVO
We present a theoretical model for CaVO: the -depleted square
spin- Heisenberg model which includes both the nearest-neighbor coupling
() and the next-nearest-neighbor coupling (), where and are
antiferromagnetic. Recent experiments of the neutron diffraction by Harashina
et.al. report the magnetic ordering at low temperatures, which may be called as
a stripe phase. It is shown that the observed spin structure is not stable in
the classical theory. By employing the modified spin wave theory, we show that
the stripe phase is stabilized by the quantum fluctuations for .
In CaVO, the coupling constants are estimated as by
comparing the theoretical and experimental results.Comment: submitted to J. Phys. Soc. Jp
