Abstract

We study a quenched disordered d=3 tJ Hamiltonian with static vacancies as a model of nonmagnetic impurities in high-Tc materials. Using a renormalization-group approach, we calculate the evolution of the finite-temperature phase diagram with impurity concentration p and find several features with close experimental parallels: Away from half filling, we see the rapid destruction of a spin-singlet phase (analogous to the superconducting phase in cuprates) which is eliminated for p≳0.05; in the same region for these dilute impurity concentrations, we observe an enhancement of antiferromagnetism. The antiferromagnetic phase near half filling is robust against impurity addition and disappears only for p≳0.40.
