Figure 3: Structure factors and absence of order in the lobe.
Off-diagonal nq (a), diagonal Sq (b), and bond BBq (c) structure factors inside the lobe for a system with Ns=24 × 24, h/Jz=0.8333, J±±/Jz=0.495 and T=Jz/48. In each panel, the colour scale represents the intensity of the structure factor. The corresponding finite-size scaling of candidate peaks at q values where local maxima occur in the structure factors n0 (d)(red hexagons), S0 and SK (e)(red triangles and green, respectively), and BK (f)(red squares). The error bars represent the one s.d. statistical uncertainty. Linear fits to the data in panels (d–f) are represented as blue dashed and black solid lines. The zero-momentum peak of BB0 in panel (c) has been removed. In each panel, the colour scales represent the intensity of the structure factor.
