Abstract
The spin configurations of a one-dimensional, weakly anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnet were examined by means of an importance sampling Monte Carlo simulation. The spin interactions display weak anisotropies of the same form in each of the orthogonal XY and XZ planes. This allows for two soliton modes, with one in each of the planes. The soliton density within the XZ plane has been determined as a function of the relative strengths of the two anisotropies as well as of temperature. These results are compared with theoretical analysis of similar systems.
