Abstract: We construct a family of integrable vertex model based on the typical four-dimensional representations of the quantum group deformation of the Lie superalgebra sl(2|1). Upon alternation of such a representation with its dual this model gives rise to a mixed superspin Hamiltonian with local interactions depending on the representation parameter pmb and the deformation parameter gamma. As a subsector this model contains integrable vertex models with ordinary symmetries for twisted boundary conditions. The thermodynamic limit and low energy properties of the mixed superspin chain are studied using a combination of analytical and numerical methods. Based on these results we identify the phases realized in this system as a function of the parameters b and gamma. The different phases are characterized by the operator content of the corresponding critical theory. Only part of the spectrum of this effective theory can be understood in terms of the U(1) symmetries related to the physical degrees of freedom corresponding to spin and charge. The other modes lead to logarithmic finite-size corrections in the spectrum of the theory.
