Abstract

Presented are magnetization measurements on a crystal of Cr7Ni antiferromagnetic rings. Irradiation with microwaves at frequencies between 1 and 10 GHz leads to observation of very narrow resonant photon absorption lines which are mainly broadened by hyperfin interactions. A two-pulse hole burning technique allowed us to estimate the characteristic energy diffusion time.
