Resumen:
The magnetic properties of graphene on finite geometries are studied
using a self-consistent mean-field theory of the Hubbard model. This
approach is known to predict ferromagnetic edge states close to the
zigzag edges in single-layer graphene quantum dots and nanoribbons. In
order to assess the accuracy of this method, we perform complementary
exact diagonalization and quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We observe
good quantitative agreement for all quantities investigated provided
that the Coulomb interaction is not too strong.
