Abstract
The system of a single-mode field interacting with a -type three-level atom in a harmonic trap is investigated. The linear entropy of the field, the atomic internal states and the atomic mass center motion are explored. It is shown that the atomic mass center motion not only can affect the linear entropy of the field and the atomic internal states, but also effectively changes their relationship.
