Abstract
Random spin-3/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains are investigated using an asymptotically exact renormalization group. Randomness is found to induce a quantum phase transition between two random-singlet phases. In the strong randomness phase the effective spins at low energies are Seff=3/2, while in the weak randomness phase the effective spins are Seff=1/2. Separating them is a quantum critical point near which there is a nontrivial mixture of spin-1/2, spin-1, and spin-3/2 effective spins at low temperatures.
