Abstract
We investigate global entanglement in the ground state of single-molecular magnet Na 9 [Cu 3 Na 3 (H 2 O) 9 (α-AsW 9 O 33 ) 2 ]·26H 2 O with an external magnetic field. The concurrence, tangle, and measure function Q , which characterize the pairwise entanglement, 3-party entanglement and total entanglement, respectively, are calculated numerically at zero temperature. The results show that the magnitude and direction of the applied magnetic field play a significant role in the properties of three kinds of entanglement measures. We give a physical interpretation of the variation of the global entanglement with the magnetic field. Finally, the phase diagram of the global entanglement characterized by the critical magnetic fields is presented.
