Abstract

The site- and bond-dilution effects of the nonmagnetic ground state of a two-dimensional $S=1/2$ antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model, coupled with the lattice distortions on a square lattice, are investigated by performing quantum Monte Carlo simulations. In the nondiluted system, a phase diagram parameterized by the interchain interaction and the elastic constant is obtained, and the values of the lattice distortions in the dimerized phase are evaluated precisely. In the diluted system, we compare two ground-state energies assuming two patterns of lattice distortions with magnetic moments (effective spins) induced near the diluted parts and induced at the midpoint between the diluted parts. As a result, we find that it is difficult to induce effective spins near diluted parts for large elastic constants, small interchain interactions, and large concentrations of dilution.
