Multipartite entanglement in spin chains

We investigate the presence of multipartite entanglement in macroscopic spin chains. We discuss the Heisenberg and the XY model and derive bounds on the internal energy for systems without multipartite entanglement. Based on this we show that in thermal equilibrium the above-mentioned spin systems contain genuine multipartite entanglement, even at finite modest temperatures.
