ABSTRACT
Deconfined quantum critical point (DQCP) [1] predicts a continuous quantum phase transition with two divergent length scales between the standard Neel antiferromagnet (AFM) and a valence-bond solid (VBS) in two dimensions, where the standard correlation length /xi governs the order parameter scaling behaviors, while the second length scale /xi’, which diverges faster than /xi, governs an emergent U(1) symmetry and the deconfinement length scale of fractional S=1/2 excitations (spinons). Numerical simulations of different microscopic models show controversial conclusions. In this talk, I will present our recent work [2] on this topic. From a new perspective of domain wall properties, we found that the longer length scale affects finite size scaling properties more dramatically than in previously known systems with two divergent length scales, and this is the reason for the previously puzzling behaviors found in simulations.
