  The magnetic polarization induced by nonmagnetic impurities such as Zn in
high Tc cuprate compounds is studied by the variational Monte Carlo simulation.
The variational wave function is constructed from the eigenstates obtained from
Bogoliubov de Gennes mean field Hamiltonian for the two-dimensional t-J model.
A Jastrow factor is introduced to account for the induced magnetic moment and
the repulsion between holes and the impurity. A substantial energy gain is
obtained by forming an antiferromagnetic polarization covering 4 or 5 lattice
sites around the impurity. We also found the doping dependence for the induced
magnetic moment consistent with experiments.
