Thermal Entanglement in the Spin-S Heisenberg XYZ Model

The thermal entanglement in the spin-S Heisenberg XYZ model is studied in detail by using the entanglement measure of negativity. The effects of spin on the thermal entanglement, the threshold temperature, the critical uniform external magnetic field, the nonuniform external magnetic field and the＇, entanglement extremum are discussed, respectively. It is shown that with increasing spin, the entanglement will increase, and then decrease slowly. In addition, we find that entanglement will approach a constant Nc with the increase of DM interaction, the constant increases with the increase of spin, and both the threshold temperature Tc and critical uniform external magnetic field Bc will increase with the increasing spin. Thus high-spin system can inhibit the influence of the external environment better.     

Bipartite entanglement in a two-qubit Heisenberg XXZ chain under an inhomogeneous magnetic field

This paper investigates the bipartite entanglement of a two-qubit Heisenberg XXZ chain under an inhomogeneous magnetic field. By the concept of negativity, we find that the inhomogeneity of the magnetic field may induce entanglement and the critical magnetic field is independent of Jz. We also find that the entanglement is symmetric with respect to a zero magnetic field. The anisotropy parameter Jz may enhance the entanglement.     

Effects of Anisotropy on Pair-wise Entanglement of a Four-Qubit Heisenberg XXZ Chain

The pair-wise thermal entanglement in a four-qubit Heisenberg XXZ chain ＆ investigated to study the role of anisotropy when an external magnetic field is included. It is found that pair-wise entanglement is absent between nearest- and next-nearest neighbouring qubits with anisotropic parameter △≤-1. For two nearest-neighbouring qubits, increasing the parameter can not only induce the entanglement, but also extend the entanglement region in terms of magnetic field B and temperature T. For two next-nearest-neighbouring qubits, increasing anisotropic parameter can shift the location of the entanglement and control the extent of the entanglement in terms of magnetic field at a finite temperature.     

Soliton Lattice State of Spin—1／2 Antiferromagnetic Chain in an External Magnetic Field

One-dimensional spin-1-2 anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnet in a longitudinal external magnetic field is studied using bosonization method and Gaussian wave functional techniques which take account of the spatial structure.The magnetization and the energy of the ground state which depend on the external magnetic field are calculated.For the case of anisotropic parameter △＞△0,increasing of the external magnetic field above the threshold value leads to the appearance of the soliton lattice state in the ground state,until to an another critical field where the ground state changes to the canted state phase.Therefore,with increasing external magnetic field,the ground state experiences four different phases successively,namely,antiferromagnetic Ising,soliton lattice state canted state,and magnetization saturated phases.When △＜△0,the soliton lattice state phase does not appear,with increasing external field,the paramagnetic phase smoothly evolves into the canted state phase,finally reaches magnetization saturated phase.     

Thermal entanglement in two-qutrit spin-1 anisotropic Heisenberg model with inhomogeneous magnetic field

The thermal entanglement of a two-qutrit spin-1 anisotropic Heisenberg XXZ chain in an inhomogeneous magnetic field is studied in detail. The effects of the external magnetic field (B), a parameter b which controls the inhomogeneity of B, and the bilinear interaction parameters Jx = Jy≠ Jz Jz on the thermal variation of the negativity are studied in detail. It is found that negativity N decreases when the values of magnetic field, inhomogeneity b and temperature are increasing. In addition, N remains at higher temperatures for higher values of Jz and lower values of B and b.     

Effects of Pure Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction with Magnetic Field on Entanglement in Intrinsic Decoherence

We investigate the effects of pure Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya(DM) interaction with magnetic field on entanglement in intrinsic decoherence,assuming that the system is initially in four Bell states |φ± =(|00 ± |11)/2~(1/2) and|ψ± =(|01) ± |10)/2~(1/2) respectively.It is found that if the system is initially in the state ρ1(0) = |φ+φ+|,the entanglement can obtain its maximum when the DM interaction vector D is in the plane of XOZ and magnetic field B = B_y with the infinite time t,moreover the entanglement is independent of B_y and t when B_y is perpendicular to D.In addition,we obtain similar results when the system is initially in the states ρ2(0) =|φ-φ-| or ρ3(0) = |ψ+ψ+|.However,we find that if the system is initially in the state ρ4(0) =|ψ-ψ-|,the entanglement can obtain its maximum for infinite t,when the DM vector is in the plane of YOZ,XOZ,or XOY,with the magnetic field parallel to X,Y,or Z axis,respectively.Moreover,when the axial B is perpendicular to D for the initial state ρ4(0),the negativity oscillates with time t and reaches a stabie value,the larger the value of B is,the greater the stable value is,and the shorter the oscillation time of the negativity is.Thus we can adjust the direction and value of the external magnetic field to obtain the maximal entanglement,and avoid the adverse effects of external environment in some initial state.This is feasible within the current experimental technology.     

Maximizing Thermal Entanglement of XY Model Using Site-Dependent Magnetic Fields in Specific Directions

We study the thermal entanglement by means of concurrence in a two-qubit isotropic XY model in the presence of site-dependent external magnetic fields in arbitrary directions. We find that at a given temperature and magnetic field strength, the mirror symmetry of the two fields about the x-y plane is a necessary condition for maximum entanglement. However, if there is no constraint on the field strengths, then the necessary condition for maximum entanglement reduces to the configuration that the two fields are vertical, anti-parallel and with the same strength. We also investigate the anisotropic XY model and find that the above conclusion more or less holds.     

Built-in electric field effect on cyclotron mass of magnetopolarons in a wurtzite In_xGa_（1-x）N/GaN quantum well

The cyclotron mass of magnetopolarons in wurtzite In x Ga 1 x N/GaN quantum well is studied in the presence of an external magnetic field by using the Larsen perturbation method.The effects of the built-in electric field and different phonon modes including interface,confined and half-space phonon modes are considered in our calculation.The results for a zinc-blende quantum well are also given for comparison.It is found that the main contribution to the transition energy comes from half-space and interface phonon modes when the well width is very small while the confined modes play a more important role in a wider well due to the location of the electron wave function.As the well width increases,the cyclotron mass of magnetopolarons first increases to a maximum and then decreases either with or without the built-in electric field in the wurtzite structure and the built-in electric field slightly reduces the cyclotron mass.The variation of cyclotron mass in a zinc-blende structure is similar to that in a wurtzite structure.With the increase of external magnetic field,the cyclotron mass of polarons almost linearly increases.The cyclotron frequency of magnetopolarons is also discussed.     

Bipartite entanglement of a two-qubit system with anisotropic couplings under nonuniform magnetic fields

This paper investigates bipartite entanglement of a two-qubit system with anisotropic couplings under an inhomo- geneous magnetic field. This work is mainly to investigate the characteristics of a Heisenberg XYZ chain and obtains some meaningful results. By the concept of negativity, it finds that the inhomogeneity of magnetic field may induce entanglement and the critical magnetic field is independent of Jz . The inhomogeneous magnetic field can increase the value of critical magnetic field Bc. It also finds that the magnetic field not only suppresses the entanglement but also can induce it to revival for some time.     

Effects of Magnetic Field on the Valence Bond Property of the Double—Quantum—Dot Molecule

The effects of the magnetic field on the valence bond property of the double-quantum-dot molecule are numerically studied by the finite element method and perturbation approach because of the absence of cylindrical symmetry in the horizontally coupled dots.The calculation results show that the energy value of the ground state changes differently from that of the first excited state with increasing magnetic field strength,and they cross under a certain magnetic field.The increasing magnetic field makes the covalent bond state change into an ionic bond state,which agrees qualitatively with experimental results and and makes ionic bond states remain.The oscillator strength of transition between covalent bond states decreases distinctly with the increasing magnetic field strength,when the molecule is irradiated by polarized light.Such a phenomenon is possibly useful for actual applications.     

The effects of nonlinear couplings and external magnetic field on the thermal entanglement in a two-spin-qutrit system

We investigate the effects of nonlinear couplings and external magnetic field on the thermal entanglement in a two-spin-qutrit system by applying the concept of negativity. It is found that the nonlinear couplings favor the thermal entanglement creating. Only when the nonlinear couplings ∣K∣ are larger than a certain critical value does the entanglement exist. The dependence of the thermal entanglement in this system on the magnetic field and temperature is also presented. The critical magnetic field increases with the increasing nonlinear couplings constant ∣K∣. And for a fixed nonlinear couplings constant, the critical temperature is independent of the magnetic field B.

Thermal entanglement of a two-qutrit Ising system with Dzialoshinski-Moriya interaction

Thermal entanglement of a two-qutrit Ising system in the presence of an external homogeneous magnetic field and Dzialoshinski-Moriya (DM) interaction is investigated. Influences of magnetic field, temperature, and DM interaction on the entanglement have been characterized in terms of negativity for a wide range of parameters. The cases of parallel, antiparallel and transverse magnetic fields are considered. Results of detailed numerical calculations are explained using the analytically determined ground and excited states of the system. It is shown that at a given temperature, control of entanglement can be optimized by utilizing competing effects of the magnetic field and the DM interaction.     

Magnetic field induced incommensurate resonance in cuprate superconductors

The influence of a uniform external magnetic field on the dynamical spin response of cuprate superconductors in the superconducting state is studied based on the kinetic energy driven superconducting mechanism. It is shown that the magnetic scattering around low and intermediate energies is dramatically changed with a modest external magnetic field. With increasing the external magnetic field, although the incommensurate magnetic scattering from both low and high energies is rather robust, the commensurate magnetic resonance scattering peak is broadened. The part of the spin excitation dispersion seems to be an hourglass-like dispersion, which breaks down at the heavily low energy regime. The theory also predicts that the commensurate resonance scattering at zero external magnetic field is induced into the incommensurate resonance scattering by applying an external magnetic field large enough.     

Thermal Stability of Triangular Ferromagnetic Nanowire Arrays under Magnetic Field

The thermal stability of a triangular nanowire array under an external magnetic field is studied by the damage spreading technique. The results show that stability of the system may be enhanced by decreasing the spacing of magnetic cells (or increasing the storage density). The existence of an external magnetic field is another way to hinder the damage spreading.

Nanocrystallization of CaCO3 at solid/liquid interfaces in magnetic field: A quantum approach

With the application of 1.2 T external magnetic field, 90% of CaCO₃ soluble molecules in water flow precipitate on stainless steel 316 solid/liquid interface in the form of aragonite/vaterite. The magnetic field increases locally the thermodynamic potentials at interface, favoring the formation of aragonite than calcite, despite the fact that the field-free ground electronic state of aragonite is situated higher than of calcite. A quantum mechanical model predicts that magnetic fluctuations inside the liquid can be amplified by exchanging energy with an external magnetic field through the angular momentum of the water molecular rotors and with the macroscopic angular momentum of the turbulent flow. The theoretical model predicts that the gain is higher when the magnetic field is in resonance with the rotational frequencies of the molecular rotors or/and the low frequencies of the turbulent flow and that aragonite concentration is increasing at 0.4 T in agreement with the experimental results. Contrary to calcite, aragonite binds weakly on flow surfaces; and hence the process has significant industrial, environmental and biological impact.     

Excitons and magnetoexcitons in coupled quantum nanostructures: the role of a dirty environment

The effect of a random field caused by impurities, interface roughness and so on, on the optical properties and superfluidity of a quasi-two-dimensional system of excitons is studied. The influence of a random field on the density of the superfluid component of excitonic systems at low temperatures is investigated. For quasi-two-dimensional excitonic systems in a random field the Kosterlitz–Thouless temperature in the superfluid state is calculated. The superfluidity and Bose–Einstein condensation of indirect excitons in coupled quantum dots are studied. Magnetoexciton light absorption in the disordered quantum wells is considered. The two-particle problem of the magnetoexciton motion in the external field depending on the external magnetic field is reduced to the one-particle motion with effective magnetic mass in some effective field. The energy and optical absorption of the magnetoexciton in a single and coupled quantum dots are studied using the effective-magnetic-mass Hamiltonian. In the coherent potential approximation the coefficient of magnetoexciton optical absorption in single and coupled quantum wells is calculated. In the strong magnetic fields the exciton peak decreases with magnetic field increasing in accordance with the experimental data. The localization of direct and indirect magnetoexcitons is investigated. Received: 14 April 2000 / Accepted: 17 April 2000 / Published online: 6 September 2000     

Low-temperature study of magnetic ordering in gadolinium orthophosphate

The zero-field heat capacity shows an antiferromagnetic ordering of Gd³⁺ in gadolinium orthophosphate at 0.8 K. The application of the external magnetic field leads to the splitting of the Gd³⁺ ground-state multiplet. The antiferromagnetic ordering becomes gradually suppressed with increasing field, and the loss of the long-range magnetic ordering with a threshold field between 0.2 and 0.5 T is indicated by heat-capacity data. Estimated entropy of the anomaly due to magnetic ordering or the Schottky-type anomaly (above 0.5 T) is close to Rln8 as expected for Gd³⁺ ground-state multiplet. Magnetization measurements above 2 K corroborate this magnetic behaviour.
