Abstract
Using the quantum transfer-matrix method we have calculated the spin correlation functions of the S =3/2 XXZ chain and examined the temperature dependence of the mass (≡ the inverse of the correlation length), susceptibility χ x ( Q ) and the magnetic structure factor S z ( Q ). The result shows that the mass vanishes at T =0 for the planar and isotropic cases (-1≦ Δ ≦1) in agreement with the theoretical prediction. At a low temperature the peak of S z ( Q ) at Q =π has been observed to persist even in the ferromagnetic region (0< Δ <0.8). The susceptibility χ z ( Q =0) at T =0 has been obtained with use of the extrapolation. The critical indices have been also examined.
