摘要
We describe the uniform and staggered magnetization distributions around a vacancy in a quantum critical two-dimensional S=1/2 antiferromagnet. The distributions are delocalized across the entire sample with a universal functional form arising from an uncompensated Berry phase. The numerical results, obtained using quantum Monte Carlo simulations of the Heisenberg model on bilayer lattices with up to approximate to 10(5) spins, are in good agreement with the proposed scaling structure. We determine the exponent eta'=0.40 +/- 0.02, which governs both the staggered and uniform magnetic structure away from the impurity and also controls the impurity spin dynamics.
