Abstract

We calculate the static and dynamic properties of single crystal, single molecule magnets consisting of equal spin S=1/2S=1/2 or 5/2 dimers. The spins in each dimer interact with each other via the Heisenberg exchange interaction and with the magnetic induction B{\bf B} via the Zeeman interaction, and interdimer interactions are negligible. For antiferromagnetic couplings, the static magnetization and specific heat exhibit interesting low temperature TT and strong B{\bf B} quantum effects. We calculate the frequency spectrum of the Fourier transform of the real part of the time autocorrelation function C11(t){\cal C}_{11}(t) for arbitrary T,BT, {\bf B}, and compare our results with those obtained for classical spins. We also calculate the inelastic neutron magnetic dynamical structure factor S(q,ω)S({\bf q},\omega) at arbitrary T,BT, {\bf B}.
