Consequences of lattice imperfections and interchain couplings for the critical properties of spin-1/2 chain compounds

To allow for a comparison of theoretical predictions for spin chains with experimental data, it is often important to take impurity effects as well as interchain couplings into account. Here we present the field theory for finite spin chains at finite temperature and calculate experimentally measura...
