We study physical properties of the symmetric diamond chain with delocalized interstitial spins. We derive an exact solution of the model and characterize the phases of the system at zero temperature. On the basis of this solution, we examine its magnetic and thermal properties as well. The case of nonconserved electron number is then considered. There are phases, which we term as nonclassical, for which electrons in Hubbard dimers are in quantum entangled states. We finally study quantum entanglement depending on Hamiltonian parameters and temperature.

The geometrically magnetic frustrations and quantum thermal entanglement of antiferromagnetic metal-containing compounds are considered on a diamond chain. We researched the magnetic and thermal properties of the symmetric Hubbard dimers with delocalized interstitial spins and the quantum entanglement states. It is presented magnetization plateaus and negativity in spin-1 Ising-Heisenberg model using transfer matrix technique. Applying the dynamic system approach we study the magnetic curves, Lyapunov exponents and superstable point in the two-dimensional mapping for the partition function of spin-1 classical and Ising-Heisenberg models at T → 0 on a diamond chain.
The exact solution of the distorted Ising-Hubbard model for a diamond chain is obtained by means of transfer matrix method. Based on this solution the magnetic, thermal and concurrence properties of the system are studied. We discuss in detail the ground state varying values of Ising and Hubbard interaction couplings, hopping amplitude, magnetic field, chemical potential and get paramagnetic, ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic phases of the system. Plateaus in magnetization curves and several-peak structures of the specific heat curve for different values of Hamiltonian parameters are obtained. The dependence of concurrence in Hubbard dimers from chain parameters, external magnetic field and temperature are studied.
The entanglement quantum properties of a spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg model on a symmetrical diamond chain were analyzed. Due to the separable nature of the Ising-type exchange interactions between neighboring Heisenberg dimers, calculation of the entanglement can be performed exactly for each individual dimer. Pairwise thermal entanglement was studied in terms of the isotropic Ising-Heisenberg model and analytical expressions for the concurrence (as a measure of bipartite entanglement) were obtained. The effects of external magnetic field H and next-nearest neighbor interaction J(m) between nodal Ising sites were considered. The ground state structure and entanglement properties of the system were studied in a wide range of coupling constant values. Various regimes with different values of ground state entanglement were revealed, depending on the relation between competing interaction strengths. Finally, some novel effects, such as the two-peak behavior of concurrence versus temperature and coexistence of phases with different values of magnetic entanglement, were observed.
Spins models, despite their simplicity, are known to describe with great precision physical properties of the materials. Of particular interest are the one-dimensional models that present an exact analytical solution, which can be obtained by the transfer matrix method and the decoration-iteration transformation technique. In this thesis, we studied a spin-electron model and two Ising-Heisenberg spin models, where all models are exactly soluble. The first model we investigate concerns a spin-electron diamond chain with Ising spins located on the local sites and mobile electrons dislocated in the interstitial sites under the external magnetic field action. We analyzed the ground states and the correlation between the spins. We show that thermal fluctuations can lead to the emergence of quantum entanglement above the unfrustrated ground states. We also analyze this same model but for different Landé g-factors. We investigated the phase diagrams at zero temperature. We also analyze the magnetization and we show that the magnetic field can cause the emergence of quantum entanglement in some conditions above the non-entanglement ground states. In this same context, we studied the Ising-XYZ diamond model of spin-1/2, with interaction between the second neighbours of the nodal Ising spins, and an external magnetic field applied to the z-axis. We investigate the phase diagram at zero temperature and the quantum entanglement. We notice that the bipartite entanglement between the pairs of Heisenberg interstitial spins in the natural mineral azurite is insensitive to the external magnetic field applied up to approximately 30 K. The third model we studied is a classical-quantum chain consisting of regularly alternating Ising and Heisenberg spins and with two different local anisotropy axes, subject to an applied external magnetic field. We studied the ground states, the magnetization and the susceptibility. It is evidenced that the investigated spin model reproduces magnetic characteristics of the heterobimetallic coordination compound Dy(NO)3(DMSO)2Cu(opba)(DMSO)2. In this thesis we show that the exact soluble spin models can describe with good precision a class of real magnetic materials, which can present interesting magnetic and thermodynamic properties, and quantum entanglement.
We investigate a spin-1/2 Ising-XYZ diamond chain with Ising-like interaction between nodal and interstitial sites and Heisenberg-like interaction between interstitial sites, subjected to an external magnetic field applied along the z-direction. This model presents exact analytical solution and can be solved using the transfer matrix technique. Here, we study the entropy and quantum entanglement in the quasi-phase region, which can be quantified through concurrence. For the chosen parameters, the system presents three regions with different spin orientation at the finite temperature, which we call quasi-phase ferrimagnetic (qFI) and two types of quasi-phase ferromagnetic Ising and modulated ferromagnetic Heisenberg (qMF0) and (qMF2). We show that the quantum entanglement remains almost constant in qMF0 until considerable temperature values. In addition, we verify that the quantum entanglement is null in the pseudo-transition between the qFI e qMF0, but in the interface between qMF0 and qMF2 is entangled. We observe an abrupt increase in the entropy curves in the pseudo-critical temperature. We also observe when the temperature is lower than the pseudo-critical temperature the entropy remains almost constant at zero and the quantum entanglement in this same region remains almost constant.
Most quantum entanglement investigations are focused on two qubits or some finite (small) chain structure, since the infinite chain structure is a considerably cumbersome task. Therefore, the quantum entanglement properties involving an infinite chain structure is quite important, not only because the mathematical calculation is cumbersome but also because real materials are well represented by an infinite chain. Thus, in this paper we consider an entangled diamond chain with Ising and anisotropic Heisenberg (Ising-XXZ) coupling. Two interstitial particles are coupled through Heisenberg coupling or simply two-qubit Heisenberg, which could be responsible for the emergence of entanglement. These two-qubit Heisenberg operators are interacted with two nodal Ising spins. An infinite diamond chain is organized by interstitial-interstitial and nodal-interstitial (dimer-monomer) site couplings. We are able to get the thermal average of the two-qubit operator, called the reduced two-qubit density operator. Since these density operators are spatially separated, we could obtain the concurrence (entanglement) directly in the thermodynamic limit. The thermal entanglement (concurrence) is constructed for different values of the anisotropic Heisenberg parameter, magnetic field, and temperature. We also observed the threshold temperature via the parameter of anisotropy, Heisenberg and Ising interaction, external magnetic field, and temperature.
