Lost and found: The missing diabolical points in the Fe$_8$ molecular magnet

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2011-03-23 v2

Abstract

Certain diabolical points in the tunneling spectrum of the single-molecule magnet Fe8_8 were previously believed to be have been eliminated as a result of a weak fourth-order anisotropy. As shown by Bruno, this is not so, and the points are only displaced in the magnetic field space along the medium anisotropy direction. The previously missing points are numerically located by following the lines of the Berry curvature. The importance of an experimental search for these rediscovered points is discussed.
