Abstract: | We apply finite-temperature perturbation theory to study thermodynamic properties of the two-leg antiferromagnetic spin ladder in the strong interchain coupling limit. The internal energy, specific heat and uniform susceptibility are calculated analytically by third-order perturbation expansions. At zero temperature, the present method results in the same ground state energy as that obtained by the strong coupling expansion without temperature. At finite-temperature, we obtain a peak in the specific heat and a broad maximum in the uniform susceptibility. The results agree quite well with experimental data for the material Cu2(C5H12N2)2Cl4 and the numerical data of 8-order series expansion theory. |
