Abstract

In this work we use the Self Consistent Harmonic Approximation and Quantum Monte Carlo technique to study the Quantum XY on a two dimensional square lattice in the presence of nonmagnetic impurities. In particular we discuss how site disorder changes the Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless transition temperature, TBKT. This temperature is determined as a function of the nonmagnetic density. Our results are consistent with an anomalous behavior of TBKT at a concentration close to the site percolation threshold. We interpret the results as due to a competition between the confining of vortices and quantum fluctuations, or due to finite size effects.
