Thermal entanglement in the Heisenberg XXZ model under an inhomogeneous magnetic field
WU Ke-dong
Abstract
We study the thermal entanglement in the two-qubit anisotropic XXZ model in the presence of an external inhomogeneous magnetic field along the z axis.Concurrence,the measurement of entanglement,is calculated.The effects of the anisotropic parameter Δ on the thermal entanglement are studied carefully for both the antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic cases.The critical temperature Tc can also be controlled by the anisotropic parameter Δ.
