Some New Variational Resonating-Valence-Bond-Type Wave Functions for the Spin-½ Antiferromagnetic Heisenberg Model on a Square Lattice

Liang, S., Doucot, B., Anderson, P. W.·1988·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

We consider a class of singlet resonanting-valence-bond wave functions on a square lattice, with the bond-length distribution as a variational parameter. This class contains the two limiting cases of the dimer wave function and of the N\'eel state. We present numerical calculations of the energy and the spin-spin correlation functions up to very large lattice sizes (180\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}180) both for disordered states with exponentially decaying correlation functions and for ordered states. The energy of a disordered state can be within 0.1% of our best ordered state ($\frac{\ensuremath{-}0.3344J}{\mathrm{bond}}$).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
