The Coupled Cluster Method Applied to the Spin-Half XXZ Model on the Honeycomb Lattice
R. F. Bishop, J. Rosenfeld
Abstract
The coupled cluster method (CCM) is applied to the spin-half XXZ model on the honeycomb lattice. Hierarchical CCM approximation schemes are applied in order to obtain the ground-state properties. The possible critical behavior of this model is also examined. Reasonably good results for the ground-state energy and the staggered magnetization are obtained, in comparison to the results from Monte Carlo simulations, spin-wave techniques, series expansions, and finite lattice diagonalizations, that have already been performed on this model.
