文摘The effect of Dzialoshinski-Moriya (DM) interaction on thermal entanglement of a mixed-spin chain in an external magnetic field is investigated. It is found that DM interaction may enhance quantum thermal entanglement to a maximal value even though the magnetic field plays a positive role in shrinking thermal entanglement in the mixed-spin chain. Furthermore, the effect of inhomogeneity of the magnetic field on quantum entanglement is analyzed. Our analysis will shed some light on the understanding of the effect of the DM interaction on thermal entanglement of a mixed-spin chain.
