Abstract: We present the renormalization group (RG) flow diagram of a spin-half antiferromagnetic chain with magnetic impurity and one altered link. In this two parameters (competing interactions) model, one can find the complex phase diagram with many interesting fixed points. There is no evidence of intermediate stable fixed point in weak coupling phase. It may arise at the strong coupling phase. Depending on the strength of couplings the phases correspond either to a decoupled spin with Curie law behavior or a logarithmically diverging impurity susceptibility as in the two channel Kondo problem.
