Abstract

Inspired by the recent experiments on Y2x_{2-x}Cax_xBaNiO5_5, (J. F. DiTusa {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 1857 (1994)), we discuss the dispersion relation of the ss=1/2 particles in the ss=1 Heisenberg and VBS model in the limit of small hopping amplitudes. The effective ss=1/2 edge spins mix with the spin of the impurity resulting in one four--fold and two two--fold degenarate bands. We briefly discuss the interaction between the ss=1/2 particles arising from the background.
