Abstract: We find the free energy of the string by applying the known Matsubara formalism. Then through the Casimir effect we offer a temperature correction to the tachyon mass of the string. We see that for the fermionic part the temperature correction is precisely the opposite of that of bosonic part, so the quantum ground state of the superstring would remain massless, as expected.
