Dipolar ordering in crystals of Mn12 Ac

Statistical Mechanics 2012-02-21 v1

Abstract

Ordering in realistic elongated box-shape crystals of the molecular magnet Mn_12 Ac is investigated with the site-resolved mean-field approximation that does not assume a uniform ordering. It is shown that ferromagnetic ordering should not occur in crystals with the aspect ratio up to 12. Instead, for the aspect ratio about 6, the inner and outer regions of the crystal order in different directions, uniformly along its length. Finding ordering temperature by extrapolating the inverse susceptibility curve does not provide a correct T_C.
