Thermal Bethe-ansatz study of the correlation length of the one-dimensionalS=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet
K. Nomura, Miki Yamada
Abstract
We investigate the correlation length of the one-dimensional S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet by the thermal Bethe-ansatz method proposed by Koma. The numerical result shows that the correlation length diverges as \ensuremath{\xi}\ensuremath{\sim}${\mathit{T}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$ at low temperatures with logarithmic corrections. This logarithmic correction can be explained by conformal field theory.
