The quantum transfer-matrix approach to integrable lattice fermion systems is presented. As a simple case we treat the spinless fermion model with repulsive interaction in critical regime. We derive a set of nonlinear integral equations which characterize the free energy and the correlation length of 〈cj†ci〉 for an arbitrary particle density at any finite temperatures. The correlation length is determined by solving the integral equations numerically. Especially in the low-temperature limit this result agrees with the prediction from conformal field theory with high accuracy.
