The finite-temperature entanglement entropy for an alternating spin-1/2 chain with multi-spin interactions is investigated by means of Green’s function theory combined with Jordan-Wigner transformation, to identify the spin-Peierls (SP) transition. It is found that the two-site thermal entanglement entropy is a useful tool to characterize theSPtransition. In addition, the competition between multi-spin interaction and Peierls-dimerization plays a central role in the critical phenomenon of the system.

AbstractSymmetries in nanoscale structures can be decisive for their structural, electronic, and magnetic properties, particularly in systems with reduced dimensions. Here we show that the symmetries of a flat metal-organic molecule adsorbed on a transition metal dichalcogenide, a 2-dimensional layered material, have a dramatic effect on the total spin and the intramolecular spin-spin interactions. Using a scanning probe microscope, we find two different molecular spin states by modifying the symmetry of the molecules via the twist angle to the substrate. Additionally, we observe significant non-collinear Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction between two electron spins on the molecule induced by the spin-orbit coupling of the van der Waals coupled layered material with broken inversion symmetry. Our work opens a path for modifying the spin by exploiting symmetries and for studying the nature of surface-induced non-collinear spin-spin interaction within a single molecule which might allow the realization of more complex topological spin structures.
