Cover Story: Recent work on approximating ground states of Heisenberg spin clusters by projected Hartree–Fock theory (PHF) has extended to a cluster-based ansatz (cPHF): a cluster product optimized for symmetry restoration. Intracluster correlation is included at the mean-field level, while intercluster correlation is introduced through symmetry projection. Variants of cPHF are evaluated for ground states and singlet-triplet gaps of antiferromagnetic spin rings, where cPHF significantly improves over PHF. In contrast to spin rings, certain two- or three-dimensional spin arrangements permit cluster groupings compatible with the full spatial symmetry. Thus, cPHF yields approximate ground states with correct spin and point group quantum numbers for honeycomb lattice fragments and symmetric polyhedral. View this paper
