Abstract

The dynamical structure factor of the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain with length 20 at zero temperature is calculated. The lowest energy states have the delta-function peak at the region . At the lowest energy states are the lower-edge of the continuum of the scattering state, the strength of which decreases for large systems. This gives a reasonable explanation for the experimental fact that no clear peak is observed at the region . This situation is more apparent for valence-bond solid state. On the contrary for antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain the lowest energy states are always the edge of the continuum.
