The bound state problems associated with two magnons in a linear chain of spin 1/2 with nearest and next nearest neighbor exchange integrals, J and αJ, respectively, are studied. The Hamiltonian is rewritten in terms of the Fermi operators in place of spin operators, and an integral equation to determine the bound state energies is obtained. In the cases when the total wave number K of two magnons is π or π⁄2, analytical solutions are easily obtained. A part of the present results disagrees with Majumdar’s ones. Computer studies on the bound states are performed for a finite chain composed of spins up to twenty. They are consistent with the analytical results.
