Induced effects of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction on the thermal entanglement in spin-1/2 Heisenberg chains

Abstract

The nearest neighbor spins in the one-dimensional (1D) spin-1/2 XX model with added Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction are entangled at zero temperature. In the presence of a transverse magnetic field (TF) they remain entangled up to a quantum critical field $h_c$. Using the fermionization technique, we have studied the mutual effect of the DM interaction and TF on the thermal entanglement (TE) in this model. The critical temperature, where the entanglement disappears is specified. It is found that the TE at a finite temperature neighborhood of the quantum critical field shows a scaling behavior with the critical exponent equal to the critical gap exponent. We also argued that thermodynamical properties like the specific heat and the magnetocaloric effect (instead of the usual internal energy and the magnetization) can detect the mentioned quantum entanglement in solid systems. In addition, we suggest a tactic to find all critical temperatures, which is based on the derivative of the entanglement witness with respect to the temperature.
