Thermal Entanglement in Spin-Dimer V 4+ with a Strong Magnetic Field
Zhang Guo-Feng, Liang Jiu-Qing, Qiwei Yan
Abstract
We study the entanglement in Heisenberg dimer single molecular magnets V 4+ with a strong magnetic field by means of the measure of entanglement called ``concurrence'' and find that thermal entanglement exists for both the ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) cases. In the FM case, entanglement vanishes for anisotropic parameter λ = 0 while in the AFM case, entanglement exits in the whole region of anisotropic parameter 0⩽λ⩽1. Entanglement variations with anisotropic parameter λ, magnetic field B and temperature T are evaluated. We find a critical magnetic field at which the concurrence changes sharply from zero to maximum entanglement.
