Excitation Spectrum of the Spin-1/2 Ferromagnetic-Antiferromagnetic Alternating Heisenberg Chain:
The natural explanation of the excitation spectrum of the spin-1
antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain is given from the viewpoint of the spin-1/2
ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic alternating Heisenberg chain. The energy
spectrum of the latter is calculated with fixed momentum by numerical
diagonalization of finite size systems. It consists of a branch of propagating
triplet pair (triplet wave) and the continuum of multiple triplet waves for
weak ferromagnetic coupling. As the ferromagnetic coupling increases, the
triplet wave branch is absorbed in the continuum for small , reproducing the
characteristics of the spin-1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain.Comment: 12 Pages REVTEX, Postscript file for the figures included.

Faceting Transition in an Exactly Solvable Terrace-Ledge-Kink model
We solve exactly a Terrace-Ledge-Kink (TLK) model describing a crystal
surface at a microscopic level. We show that there is a faceting transition
driven either by temperature or by the chemical potential that controls the
slope of the surface. In the rough phase we investigate thermal fluctuations of
the surface using Conformal Field Theory.Comment: 27 pages, 18 EPS figure
