The incipient quantum phase transitions of relevance to nonzero fluctuations and entanglement in Heisenberg clusters are studied in this paper by exploiting negativity as a measure in bipartite and frustrated spin-1 anisotropic Heisenberg clusters with bilinear-biquadratic exchange, single-ion anisotropy and magnetic field. Using the exact diagonalization technique, it is shown that quantum critical points signaled by qualitative changes in behavior of magnetization and particle number are ultimately related to microscopic entanglement and collective excitations. The plateaus and peaks in spin and particle susceptibilities define the conditions for a high/low-density quantum entanglement and various ordered phases with different spin (particle) concentrations.
Thermal entanglement of a geometrically frustrated spin-1 Heisenberg diamond cluster is examined within the framework of the exact diagonalization method by computing the measure of entanglement negativity. The calculated exact analytical results are applied in order to obtain theoretical prediction of the robustness of bipartite thermal entanglement of the tetranuclear nickel complex [Ni4(CO3)2(aetpy)8](ClO4)4 (aetpy = 2-aminoethyl-pyridine) against rising temperature and magnetic field.
Using group-theoretical approach we found a family of four nine-parameter quantum states for the two-spin-1/2 Heisenberg system in an external magnetic field and with multiple components of Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) and Kaplan-Shekhtman-Entin-Wohlman-Aharony (KSEA) interactions. Exact analytical formulas are derived for the entanglement of formation for the quantum states found. The influence of DM and KSEA interactions on the behavior of entanglement and on the shape of disentangled region is studied. A connection between the two-qubit quantum states and the reduced density matrices of many-p…
Multipartite entanglement refers to the simultaneous entanglement between multiple subsystems of a many-body quantum system. While multipartite entanglement can be difficult to quantify analytically, it is known that it can be witnessed through the Quantum Fisher information (QFI), a quantity that can also be related to dynamical Kubo response functions. In this work, we first show that the finite temperature QFI can generally be expressed in terms of a static structure factor of the system, plus a correction that vanishes as $T\rightarrow 0$. We argue that this implies that the static structu…
Single-ion versus exchange anisotropy in calculating anisotropic susceptibilities of thin ferromagnetic Heisenberg films within many-body Green's function theory
A spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg branched chain constituted by regularly alternating Ising spins and Heisenberg dimers involving an additional side branching is exactly solved in a magnetic field by the transfer-matrix method. The spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg branched chain involves two different Ising and one Heisenberg coupling constants. The overall ground-state phase diagram is formed by three different ground states emergent depending on a mutual interplay between the magnetic field and three considered coupling constants: the modulated quantum antiferromagnetic phase, the quantum ferrimagnetic p…
Spontaneous order in the highly frustrated spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg model on the triangulated Kagome lattice due to the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya anisotropy
The bipartite entanglement is rigorously examined in the spin-$1/2$ Ising-Heisenberg planar lattice composed of identical inter-connected bipyramidal plaquettes at zero and finite temperatures using the quantity called concurrence. It is shown that the Heisenberg spins of the same plaquette are twice stronger entangled in the two-fold degenerate quantum ground state than in the macroscopically degenerate quantum chiral one. The bipartite entanglement with chiral features completely disappears below or exactly at the critical temperature of the model, while that with no chirality may survive ev…
A bipartite entanglement between two nearest-neighbor Heisenberg spins of a spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg model on a triangulated Husimi lattice is quantified using a concurrence. It is shown that the concurrence equals zero in a classical ferromagnetic and a quantum disordered phase, while it becomes sizable though unsaturated in a quantum ferromagnetic phase. A thermally-assisted reentrance of the concurrence is found above a classical ferromagnetic phase, whereas a quantum ferromagnetic phase displays a striking cusp of the concurrence at a critical temperature.
The bipartite entanglement across the magnetization process of a highly frustrated spin-1/2 Heisenberg octahedral chain is examined within the concept of localized magnons, which enables a simple calculation of the concurrence measuring a strength of the pairwise entanglement between nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor spins from square plaquettes. A full exact diagonalization of the finite-size Heisenberg octahedral chain with up to 4 unit cells (20 spins) evidences an extraordinary high precision of the localized-magnon theory in predicting measures of the bipartite entanglement at su…
The concept of negativity is adapted in order to explore the quantum and thermal entanglement of the mixed spin-(1/2,$S$) Heisenberg dimers in presence of an external magnetic field. The mutual interplay between the spin size $S$, XXZ exchange and uniaxial single-ion anisotropy is thoroughly examined with a goal to tune the degree and thermal stability of the pairwise entanglement. It turns out that the antiferromagnetic spin-(1/2,$S$) Heisenberg dimers exhibit higher degree of entanglement and higher threshold temperature in comparison with their ferromagnetic counterparts when assuming the s…
Monte Carlo simulation of the effects of higher order anisotropy on the spin reorientation transition in the two dimensional Heisenberg model with long range interactions
Ground-state phase diagrams and magnetization curves of a spin-1 Heisenberg diamond cluster with two different coupling constants and uniaxial single-ion anisotropy are investigated in a presence of the external magnetic field with the help of exact diagonalization methods. It is shown that the spin-1 Heisenberg diamond cluster exhibits several remarkable quantum ground states, which are manifested in zero- and low-temperature magnetization curves as intermediate plateaus at one-quarter, one-half and three-quarters of the saturation magnetization. It is found that the width of the fractional m…
The ground state, magnetization scenario and the local bipartite quantum entanglement of a mixed spin-$1/2$ Ising--Heisenberg model in a magnetic field on planar lattices formed by identical corner-sharing bipyramidal plaquettes is examined by combining the exact analytical concept of generalized decoration-iteration mapping transformations with Monte Carlo simulations utilizing the Metropolis algorithm. The ground-state phase diagram of the model involves six different phases, namely, the standard ferrimagnetic phase, fully saturated phase, two unique quantum ferrimagnetic phases, and two mac…
