Abstract

The thermodynamic properties of the XXZ spin chain with integrable open boundary conditions at the gaped region (i.e. the anisotropic parameter being a real number) are investigated. It is shown that the contribution of the inhomogeneous term in the T − Q relation of the ground state and elementary excited state can be neglected when the size of the system N tends to infinity. The surface energy and elementary excitations induced by the unparallel boundary magnetic fields are obtained.
