Abstracts

EN

Spin chains and spin ladders can have a variety of gapless (critical) or gapped (massive) phases depending on the length of the spin and the type of coupling. A brief review of the results on some simple models is given with emphasis on the generation of the Haldane gap in anisotropic spin ladders.
