Abstract

We extend our own previous applications of the microscopic coupled-cluster method (CCM) to quantum antiferromagnets. In particular, we carry out a systematic calculation involving high-order multispin correlations for the spin-1/2 anisotropic Heisenberg models on the one-dimensional chain and the two-dimensional square lattice. Their ground-state properties are obtained as functions of the anisotropy parameter. Our CCM analysis not only produces accurate results for such physical quantities as the ground-state energy which are comparable to the best results from other techniques, but it also enables us to study the quantum phase transitions of the spin models in a systematic and unbiased manner. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
