  Static and dynamic structure factors of Heisenberg ferrimagnetic spin chains
are numerically investigated. There exist two distinct branches of elementary
excitations, which exhibit ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic aspects. The
ferromagnetic feature is smeared out with the increase of temperature, whereas
the antiferromagnetic one persists up to higher temperatures. The scattering
intensity is remarkably large at lower boundaries of the ferromagnetic and
antiferromagnetic spectra. All these observations are consistent with the
ferromagnetic-to-antiferromagnetic crossover in the thermal behavior which has
recently been reported.
