%X In the presence of a staggered magnetic field, the plaquette expansion of the Lanczos matrix elements are obtained for the antiferromagnetic 2D Heisenberg model up to order 1/Np (Np is the number of plaquettes on the lattice). The resulting approximate tri-diagonal form of the Hamiltonian is diagonalised for various values of the field strength in the -> 00 limit for the ground state energy density. From the behaviour of the ground-state energy density at weak fields, the staggered magnetisation at this order in the plaquette expansion is found to be 0·71 (in units where the Neel state staggered magnetisation is 1· 0).
