The internal energy, the magnetization and the specific heat of the Heisenberg XX chain at low temperatures

Abstract

We derive power series expansions for the magnetization, the internal energy, and the specific heat of the Heisenberg XX chain that are valid at low temperatures. The coefficients of the series obtained depend logarithmically on the fugacity. It is shown that depending on whether the magnetic field exceeds or not the critical point, the effects of either the coupling of the spins and the magnetic field can have different characters, as indicated by the different power laws established.
