摘要
We consider a two-parameter (cBAR,c) family of quantum integrable isotropic Hamiltonians for a chain of alternating spins of spin s = 1/2 and s = 1. We determine the thermodynamics for low-temperature T and small external magnetic field H, with T << H. In the antiferromagnetic (cBAR > 0, c > 0) case, the model has two gapless excitations. In particular, for cBAR = c, the model is conformally invariant and has central charge c(vir) = 2. When one of these parameters is zero, the Bethe ansatz equations admit an infinite number of solutions with lowest energy.
