Magnetic phase diagram of quasi-2D quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnets with XY anisotropy

The magnetic phase diagram of a quasi-2D quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnetic compound Cu(pz)2(Cl$_{\mbox{O4}\mbox{)2}}$ [1] has been determined by experimental measurements; TN shows a strong field dependence. The data reveal the presence of a small (0.5\%) amount of XY anisotropy. QMC simulations have been performed to examine the role of the anisotropy and the interlayer exchange (') upon the phase diagram [2,3]. Comparison of the QMC results with the experimental phase diagram will be presented. \\[4pt] [1] F. Xiao, F. M. Woodward, C. P. Landee, M. M. Turnbull, C. Mielke, N. Harrison, T. Lancaster, S. J.
