Abstract
We study three-dimensional dimerized S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnets, using quantum Monte Carlo simulations of systems with three different dimerization patterns. We propose a way to relate the Néel temperature T_N to the staggered moment m_s of the ground state. Mean-field arguments suggest that T_N is proportional to m_s close to a quantum-critical point. We find an almost perfect universality (including the prefactor) if T_N is normalized by a proper lattice-scale energy. We show that the temperature T* at which the magnetic susceptibility has a maximum is a good choise, i.e., T_N/T* versus m_s is a universal function (also beyond the linear regime). These results are useful for analyzing experiments on systems where the spin couplings are not known precisely, e.g., TlCuCl3.
