Transverse Field Ising Ferromagnetism in Mn$_{12}$-acetate-MeOH

Materials Science 2012-06-25 v1

Abstract

We report measurements of the magnetic susceptibility of single crystals of Mn12_{12}-acetate-MeOH, a new high-symmetry variant of the original single molecule magnet Mn12_{12}-acetate. A comparison of these data to theory and to data for the Mn12_{12} acetate material shows that Mn12_{12}-acetate-MeOH is a realization of a transverse-field Ising ferromagnet in contrast to the original Mn12_{12} acetate material, in which solvent disorder leads to effects attributed to random field Ising ferromagnetism.
