We stress that the so-called butterfly hysteresis curves observed in dynamical magnetization measurements on systems of low-spin magnetic molecules such as V-15 and V-6 are a signature of adiabatic Landau-Zener transitions rather than that…
The V_{15} polyoxovanadate molecule is made of 15 spins 1/2 with antiferromagnetic couplings. It belongs to the class of molecules with very large Hilbert space dimension (2^{15} in V_{15}, 10^8 in Mn_{12}-ac). It is a low-spin/big-molecule…
The so-called V15 molecule is formed of 15 spins 1/2 antiferromagnetically coupled. The resultant spin is equal to 1/2. Contrary to what is expected at first sight, this half-integer spin is gapped. We show that this is a consequence of the…
Starting from an antiferromagnetic Heisenberg Hamiltonian for the fifteen spin-1/2 ions in V_15, we construct an effective spin Hamiltonian involving eight low-lying states (spin-1/2 and spin-3/2) coupled to a phonon bath. We numerically…
(Et4N)3Fe2F9 exhibits a butterfly--shaped hysteresis below 5 K when the magnetic field is parallel to the threefold axis, in accordance with a very slow magnetization relaxation in the timescale of minutes. This is attributed to an energy…

A characteristic of spin reversal in the presence of phonon-bottleneck is the deviation of the magnetization cycle from a reversible function into an opened hysterezis cycle. In recent experiments on molecular magnets (e.g. V$_{15}$ and…
At low temperatures, the magnetization of the molecular ferric wheel NaFe$_6$ exhibits a step at a critical field $B_c$ due to a field-induced level-crossing. By means of high-field torque magnetometry we observed a hysteretic behavior at…

The spin one half molecular system V15 shows no barrier against spin reversal. This makes possible direct phonon activation between the two levels. By tuning the field sweeping rate and the thermal coupling between sample and thermal…
