Abstract This paper investigates thermal entanglements of a two-qubit Heisenberg $XY$ chain in the presence of the Dzyaloshinskii--Moriya anisotropic antisymmetric interaction. By the concept of concurrence, it is found that the effects of spin--orbit coupling on the entanglement are different from those of spin--spin model. The analytical expressions of concurrence are obtained for this model.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
