Abstract
Finite temperature corrections to classical kink free energies for the sine-Gordon and ø 4 chains are obtained analytically by means of the transfer integral method. These corrections reveal that kink excitations cause a Schottky-type anomaly of specific heat at low temperatures. The numerical results of Schneider and Stoll are explained qualitatively.
