Abstract in Portuguese
As propriedades do estado fundamental do modelo de Heisenberg antiferroinagnético quântico de spin-1/2 na rede quadrada e na rede cúbica espacialmente anisotrópica são investigadas através de um novo método de Monte Carlo, baseado na estimativa do maior autovalor de uma matriz de elementos não negativos. A energia do estado fundamental e a magnetização "staggered" destes sistemas são calculadas em redes relativamente grandes com até 24 x 24 sítios para o caso de redes quadradas e 8 x 8 x 8 sítios para o caso de redes cúbicas. O método desenvolvido também pode ser usado como um novo algoritmo para a determinação direta da entropia de sistemas de spins de Ising através de simulações usuais de Monte Carlo. Usando este método, calculamos a entropia do antiferromagneto de Ising na presença de um campo magnético externo nas redes triangular e cúbica de face centrada.

Abstract in English
The ground state properties of the antiferromagnetic quantum Heisenberg model with spin-112 defined on a square lattice and on a cubic lattice with spatial anisotropy are investigated through a new Monte Carlo method, based on the estimation of the largest eigenvalue of a matrix with nonnegative elements. The ground state energy and the staggered magnetization of these systems are calculated in relatively large lattices with up to 24 x 24 sites for the square lattices and 8 x 8 x 8 sites for cubic lattices. The method developped can also be used as a new algorithm for the direct determination of the entropy of Ising spin systems through ordinary Monte Car10 simulations. By using this method we calculate the entropy of the Ising antiferromagnetic in the presence of a magnetic field in the triangular and face centered cubic lattices.
