DYNAMICS OF ENTANGLEMENT IN HEISENBERG CHAINS WITH ASYMMETRIC DZYALOSHINSKII–MORIYA INTERACTIONS
Dynamics of the nearest-neighbor concurrence and the block–block entanglement in closed Heisenberg chains with Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya (DM) interactions are simulated numerically. It is found that the nearest-neighbor concurrence and the block–block entanglement can be generated dynamically from an initial antiferromagnetic (AF) state, and DM interactions will enhance the amplitude of oscillation of concurrence and that of block–block entanglement. Furthermore, dynamics of block–block entanglement SL in the chain with even number spins is coincident with the dynamics of SN - L for D = 0. However, with the consideration of DM interactions, the evolution of SL will not be consistent with that of SN - L for the chain with odd number spins. In a given time interval, the maximal value of the generated nearest-neighbor concurrence [Formula: see text] will first decrease with the increase of chain's length, then oscillate with the increase of N. The maximal value and the minimal value of the oscillation becomes stable for a large N, and [Formula: see text] of the chain with odd spins is larger than that of the chain with even spins for a large N. The influence of DM interaction on the value of [Formula: see text] becomes unobvious with the increase of chain's length.
