Considering two identical two-level atoms interacting with two mode thermal field through a nondegeratetwo-photon process,we study the entanglement dynamics between two atoms when the atomic coherence exists.It showsthat the entanglement is dependent on the initial atomic states,and is greatly enhanced due to atomic coherence ascompared with the case when the atomic coherence is ignored.The results also show that the entanglement can becontrolled by changing the relative phases and the amplitudes of the polarized atoms.
