The well-known finite-lattice method for the calculation of the properties of quantum spin systems on a two-dimensional lattice at zero temperature was introduced in 1978. The method has now been greatly improved for the square lattice by including finite lattices based on parallelogram tiles as well as the familiar finite lattices based on square tiles. Dozens of these new finite lattices have been tested and graded using the [Formula: see text] ferromagnet. In the process new and improved estimates have been obtained for the XY model's ground-state energy per spin, ε0 = −0.549 36(30) and spontaneous magnetization per spin, m = 0.4349(10). Other properties such as near-neighbour, zero-temperature spin–spin correlations, which appear not to have been calculated previously, have been estimated to high precision. Applications of the improved finite-lattice method to other models can readily be carried out.

An approximate wave function of the ground state of the spin [Formula: see text] XY magnet is derived using a variational method. This wave function yields estimates of the ground state energy and long-range order which agree very well with the results obtained by Betts and Oitmaa by a finite lattice method.

It is shown that low-temperature series expansions for lattice models in statistical mechanics can be obtained from a consideration of only connected strong subgraphs of the lattice. This general result is used as the basis of a linked-cluster form of the method of partial generating functions and also as the basis for extending the finite lattice method of series expansion to low-temperature series.
