The effects of spin-spin interaction on thermal entanglement of a two-qubit Heisenberg XYZ model with different inhomogeneous magnetic fields are investigated. It is shown that the entanglement is dependent on the spin-spin interaction and the inhomogeneous magnetic fields. The larger the J i (i-axis spin-spin interaction), the higher critical value the B i (i-axis uniform magnetic field) has. Moreover, in the weak-field regime, the larger J i corresponds to more entanglement, while in the strong-field regime, different J i correspond to the same entanglement. In addition, it is found that with the increase of J i , the concurrence can approach the maximum value more rapidly for the smaller B i , and can reach a larger value for the smaller b i (i-axis nonuniform magnetic field). So we can get more entanglement by increasing the spin-spin interaction J i , or by decreasing the uniform magnetic field B i and the nonuniform magnetic field b i .

The Dirac-Pauli equation is used to obtain the exact equation of spin motion for spin-1/2 particles with an anomalous magnetic moment in a constant and uniform magnetic field. Exact formulas are established for the angular velocity of the revolution of such particles along circular orbits and the rotation of the particle spin with respect to momentum. Finally, a quantum mechanical equation for the motion of the particles in a strong magnetic field is derived.
