Phys. Rev. A 79, 042319 (2009) [7 pages]Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and anisotropy effects on the entanglement of the Heisenberg modelReceived 1 March 2009; published 15 April 2009 In this paper the effect of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and anisotropy on the entanglement of Heisenberg chain has been studied. While the anisotropy suppresses the entanglement due to favoring of the alignment of spins, the DM interaction restores the spoiled entanglement via creation of the quantum fluctuations. Thermodynamic limit of the model and emerging of nonanalytic behavior of the entanglement have also been probed. The singularities of the entanglement correspond to the critical boundary separating different phases of the model. The singularity of the entanglement derivative approaches the critical point from the gapped phase and will be symmetric if both phases on the boundary are gapped. © 2009 The American Physical Society URL:
