摘要: In order to gain a deeper understanding of the quantum criticality in the explicitly staggered dimerized Heisenberg models, we study a generalized staggered dimer model named J0-J1-J2 model, which corresponds to the staggered J-J' model on square lattice and honeycomb lattice when J1/J0 equals 1 and 0, respectively. Using quantum Monte Carlo method, we investigate all the quantum critical points of these models with J1/J0 changing from 0 to 1 as a function of coupling ratio α=J2/J0. We extract all the critical values of the coupling ratio αc for these models, and we also obtain the critical exponents ν, β/ν, and η using different finite-size scaling ansatz. All these exponents are not in consistent with the three-dimensional Heisenberg universality class, indicating some unconventional quantum ciritcial points in these models.
