Abstract

We investigate the dynamical spin-spin auto-correlation function of the isotropic high spin molecules CrCu6_{6} (S=9/2), CrNi6_{6} (S=15/2) and CrMn6_{6} (S=27/2), using magnetization, μ\muSR and NMR measurements. We find that the field autocorrelation time τ\tau of the molecule's spin at zero and low fields is nearly temperature independent as T50T\to 50 mK. The high temperatures τ\tau is very different between the molecules. Surprisingly, it is identical (\sim 10 nsec) at low temperature. This suggests that τ\tau is governed by hyperfine interactions.
