▎ 摘  要

We study the temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility of a strained graphene quantum dot using the determinant quantum Monte Carlo method. Within the Hubbard model on a honeycomb lattice, our unbiased numerical results show that a relative small interaction U may lead to an edge ferromagneticlike behavior in the strained graphene quantum dot. Around half-filling, the ferromagnetic fluctuations at the zigzag edge are strengthened both by the on-site Coulomb interaction and the strain, especially in the low temperature region.
