The zero-temperature pairwise entanglement is investigated in the antiferromagnetic
Heisenberg chain with one impure spin s. The impurity location is varied from the open
end to a mediate site of the spin chain. It is found that the pairwise entanglement is
proportional to 1/s. This means that the entanglement will disappear in the classical
systems as s → ∞. Compared to the isotropic Heisenberg chain without impurity, the
efficient control of the spin coupling between the impurity spin and nearest-neighbor
spins can enhance the pairwise entanglement.
