Spins models, despite their simplicity, are known to describe with great precision physical properties of the materials. Of particular interest are the one-dimensional models that present an exact analytical solution, which can be obtained by the transfer matrix method and the decoration-iteration transformation technique. In this thesis, we studied a spin-electron model and two Ising-Heisenberg spin models, where all models are exactly soluble. The first model we investigate concerns a spin-electron diamond chain with Ising spins located on the local sites and mobile electrons dislocated in the interstitial sites under the external magnetic field action. We analyzed the ground states and the correlation between the spins. We show that thermal fluctuations can lead to the emergence of quantum entanglement above the unfrustrated ground states. We also analyze this same model but for different Landé g-factors. We investigated the phase diagrams at zero temperature. We also analyze the magnetization and we show that the magnetic field can cause the emergence of quantum entanglement in some conditions above the non-entanglement ground states. In this same context, we studied the Ising-XYZ diamond model of spin-1/2, with interaction between the second neighbours of the nodal Ising spins, and an external magnetic field applied to the z-axis. We investigate the phase diagram at zero temperature and the quantum entanglement. We notice that the bipartite entanglement between the pairs of Heisenberg interstitial spins in the natural mineral azurite is insensitive to the external magnetic field applied up to approximately 30 K. The third model we studied is a classical-quantum chain consisting of regularly alternating Ising and Heisenberg spins and with two different local anisotropy axes, subject to an applied external magnetic field. We studied the ground states, the magnetization and the susceptibility. It is evidenced that the investigated spin model reproduces magnetic characteristics of the heterobimetallic coordination compound Dy(NO)3(DMSO)2Cu(opba)(DMSO)2. In this thesis we show that the exact soluble spin models can describe with good precision a class of real magnetic materials, which can present interesting magnetic and thermodynamic properties, and quantum entanglement.
