Numerical transfer-kernel results for a classical spin chain with anisotropic exchange interaction and a magnetic field

Numerical transfer-kernel results are presented for thermostatic properties of two types of classical spin chains with nearest-neighbor spin-spin coupling. First, we have studied a chain in zero magnetic field with varying anisotropy in the coupling. Second, we have carried out computations for an antiferromagnetically coupled easy-plane chain with an in-plane field. The results may serve to isolate quantum effects in the results for corresponding quantum spin-12 chains given in a preceding paper.
