Properties of the one-dimensional Hubbard model with a boundary field
are studied. The present model realizes a strongly correlated electron
system with almost localized impurity spins at the boundary. Physical
quantities of the present model, e.g. the compressibility, the suscep
tibility and the specific heat, are evaluated using the Bethe-ansatz e
quation. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
