Abstract
Dynamic xx and xy spin pair correlation functions for the isotropic spin-½ XY chain are calculated numerically for long open chains in the presence of a transverse ( z ) magnetic field at finite temperature. From these data the first numerical results for the dynamic structure factors S xx (κ,ω) and S xy (κ,ω) are obtained and compared with the known results for S zz (κ,ω). While S zz (κ,ω) is restricted to certain regions in the (κ,ω)-plane S xx (κ,ω) and S xy (κ,ω) are not. Nevertheless, the numerical results show that the latter structure factors are quite small outside the regions defined by S zz (κ,ω) and moreover, that they may in many circumstances, especially at low temperature, be approximately described by a small number of broadened excitation branches.
