In order to calculate thermodynamic properties a method within the framework of the Density Matrix Renormalisation Group (DMRG) is proposed. This method combines the Imaginary Time Evolution with the ideas of Stochastic State Sampling proposed by J. Jaklič and P. Prelovšek. In their approach obtaining thermodynamic states within Exact Diagonalisation is accomplished by the means of stochastic sampling of the Hilbert space. Thermodynamic expectation values of conserved quantities at a specific temperature can then be evaluated since they correspond to the quantum mechanical expectation values with respect to such states. Performing an evolution of the states in imaginary time will therefore represent a cooling of the system. In the proposed method the Hilbert space is sampled stochastically where the low energy region is sampled with a higher weight for the purpose of evaluating the thermodynamic expectation values at low temperature. Results for the specific heat of spinless fermionic rings are compared to predictions from Exact Diagonalisation.
