Recent interest in aspects common to quantum information and condensed matter has
prompted a flurry of activity at the border of these disciplines that were far distant until a few …

We present an introductory overview of the use of spin chains as quantum wires, which has
recently developed into a topic of lively interest. The principal motivation is in connecting …

Co 2+ ions in an octahedral crystal field stabilize aj eff= 1/2 ground state with an orbital
degree of freedom and have been recently put forward for realizing Kitaev interactions, a …

We investigate the entanglement between any two spins in a one dimensional Heisenberg
chain as a function of temperature and the external magnetic field. We find that the …

Suitable for researchers and graduate students in physics and material science," Physical
Acoustics in the Solid State" reviews the modern aspects in the field, including many …

Recent experiments on the S= 1 2 antiferromagnetic chain compound, Cu benzoate,
discovered an unexpected gap scaling as approximately the 2 3 power of an applied …

Quantum materials exhibit a wide array of exotic phenomena and practically useful
properties. A better understanding of these materials can provide deeper insights into …

We investigate how quantum correlations [quantum discord (QD)] of a two-qubit one-
dimensional XYZ Heisenberg chain in thermal equilibrium depend on the temperature T of …

The thermal entanglement in the Heisenberg XYZ chain is investigated in the presence of an
external magnetic field B. In the two-qubit system, the critical magnetic field B c is increased …

We present an introduction to the workings, units of measure, and general properties of
magnetic materials. This is intended as a “primer to interpretation of magnetic data” for those …
