Abstract
We connected the two ends of a finite spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Ising chain with a magnetic impurity at one end to form a closed ring, and studied its magnetic susceptibility exactly by using the transfer matrix method. We calculated the magnetic susceptibility in the whole temperature range and gave the phase diagram at ground state of the system about the anisotropy of the impurity and strength of the connection exchange interaction for spin-1 and -3/2 impurities. We also gave the ground state entropy of the system and derived the asymptotic expression of the magnetic susceptibility multiplied by temperature at the zero-temperature limit and the high-temperature limit. It was found that a degenerate phase may exist in some parameter region at zero temperature for the odd spin number system, and the ground state entropy is ln(2) in the nondegenerate phase and is dependent on the spin number in the degenerate phase. The magnetic susceptibility of the system at low temperature exhibits ferromagnetic behavior, and the Curie constant is related to the spin configuration at ground state. When the ground state is nondegenerate, the Curie constant is equal to the square of the net spin, regardless of the parity of the number of the spin. When the spin number is odd and the ground state is degenerate, the Curie constant may be related to the total spin number. At the high-temperature limit, the magnetic susceptibility multiplied by temperature is related to the spin quantum number of the impurity and the spin number in the ring.
