We investigate the effect of dynamic nuclear spin fluctuation on quantum tunneling of the magnetization (QTM) in the molecular magnet Fe8 by increasing the nuclei temperature using radio frequency (RF) pulses before the hysteresis loop…
In response to recent nuclear-magnetic-resonance (NMR) measurements on the molecular cluster Mn_{12}O_{12} acetate, we study the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T_1 developing a modified spin-wave theory. Our microscopic new…
In this work, we study the spin dynamics of Mn12-acetate molecules in the regime of thermally assisted tunneling. In particular, we describe the system in the presence of a strong transverse magnetic field. Similar to recent experiments,…
At temperatures below the magnetic anisotropy energy, monodomain magnetic systems (small particles, nanomagnetic devices, etc.) must relax quantum mechanically. This quantum relaxation must be mediated by the coupling to both nuclear spins…
Early experiments on spin-blockaded double quantum dots revealed surprising robust, large-amplitude current oscillations in the presence of a static (dc) source-drain bias [see e.g. K. Ono, S. Tarucha, Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 256803 (2004)].…
It is shown that dipolar and weak superexchange interactions between the spin systems of single-molecule magnets (SMM) play an important role in the relaxation of magnetization. These interactions can reduce or increase resonant tunneling.…
The dynamical theory of thermally activated resonant magnetization tunneling in uniaxially anisotropic magnetic molecules such as Mn_12Ac (S=10) is developed.The observed slow dynamics of the system is described by master equations for the…
This mini-review presents a simple and accessible summary on the fascinating physics of quantum nanomagnets coupled to a nuclear spin bath. These chemically synthesized systems are an ideal test ground for the theories of decoherence in…
The quantum dynamics of mesoscopic or macroscopic systems is always complicated by their coupling to many "environmental" modes.At low T these environmental effects are dominated by localised modes, such as nuclear and paramagnetic spins,…
We present a detailed analytical and numerical analysis of the nuclear spin dynamics in parabolic quantum wells. The shallow potential of parabolic quantum wells permits substantial modification of the electronic wave function in small…
Magnetization measurements of a truly axial symmetry Mn12-tBuAc molecular nanomagnet with a spin ground state of S = 10 show resonance tunneling. This compound has the same magnetic anisotropy as Mn12-Ac but the molecules are better…
The detailed theoretical understanding of quantum spin dynamics in various molecular magnets is an important step on the roadway to technological applications of these systems. Quantum effects in both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic…
The nonlinear dynamical response of Mn$_{12}$ single-molecule magnets is experimentally found to be very large, quite insensitive to the spin-lattice coupling constant, and displaying peaks reversed with respect to classical…
The role of spin polarized reservoirs in quantum tunneling of magnetization and relaxation processes in a single molecular magnet (SMM) is investigated theoretically. The SMM is exchange-coupled to the reservoirs and also subjected to a…

We derive a simple system of equations to describe the magnetization relaxation of a molecular spin in weak interaction with a thermal bath for the whole temperature domain. Using this for the intermediate temperature domain where the…
We investigate the role of topology and distortions in the quantum dynamics of magnetic molecules, using a cyclic spin system as reference. We consider three variants of antiferromagnetic molecular ring, i.e. Cr$_8$, Cr$_7$Zn and Cr$_7$Ni,…
