The Landau Zener model has recently been used to measure very small tunnel splittings in molecular clusters of Fe8, which at low temperature behaves like a nanomagnet with a spin ground state of S = 10. The observed oscillations of the…

We analyze the interference between tunneling paths that occurs for a spin system with both fourth-order and second-order transverse anisotropy. Using an instanton approach, we find that as the strength of the second-order transverse…

We present details about an experimental method based on the Landau Zener model which allows to measure very small tunnel splittings $\Delta$ in molecular clusters Fe8. The measurements are performed with an array of micro-SQUIDs. The…

Coherent state path integrals are shown in general to contain instantons with jumps at the boundaries, i.e., with boundary points lying outside classical parameter or phase space. As an example, the magnetic molecule Fe_8 is studied using a…

We analyze the interference between tunneling paths that occurs for a spin system with special Hamiltonian both for dipole and quadrupole excitation. Using an instanton approach, we find that as the strength of the second-order transverse…

The collective tunneling of a small cluster of spins between two degenerate ground state configurations of the Kagom\'{e}-lattice quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet is \mbox{studied}. The cluster consists of the six spins on a hexagon of…

We present an improved Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) calculation of tunnel splitting in one dimensional asymmetric double well potentials. We show that the tunnel splitting in general can have linear dependence on the bias energy, beside…

The WKB and instanton answers for the tunnel splitting of the ground state in a symmetric double well potential are both reduced to an expression involving only the functionals of the potential, without the need for solving any auxilliary…

Quantum tunneling of the magnetization is a major obstacle to the use of single-molecule magnets (SMMs) as basic constituents of next-generation storage devices. In this context, phonons are often only considered (perturbatively) as…

The quantum tunneling of the magnetization vector are studied theoretically in single-domain ferromagnetic nanoparticles placed in an external magnetic field at an arbitrarily directed angle in the $ZX$ plane. We consider the…

We measure the spin splitting in a magnetic field $B$ of localized states in single-electron transistors using a new method, inelastic spin-flip cotunneling. Because it involves only internal excitations, this technique gives the most…

The tunneling splitting of the energy levels of a ferromagnetic particle in the presence of an applied magnetic field - previously derived only for the ground state with the path integral method - is obtained in a simple way from…

The spin splitting caused by the terms linear in wavevector in the effective Hamiltonian containing can give rise to the new magneto-oscillation phenomena in two-dimensional systems. It is shown that the joint action of the spin-dependent…

The point-particle-like Hamiltonian of a biaxial spin particle with external magnetic field along the hard axis is obtained in terms of the potential field description of spin systems with exact spin-coordinate correspondence. The Zeeman…

We present a formalism based on the functional Schr\"odinger equation to analyse time-dependent tunneling in quantum field theory at the semi-classical level. The full problem is reduced step by step to a finite dimensional quantum…

We report on measurements of quantized conductance in gate-defined quantum point contacts in bilayer graphene that allow the observation of subband splittings due to spin-orbit coupling. The size of this splitting can be tuned from 40 to 80…

Renormalized tunnel splitting with a finite distribution in the biaxial spin model for molecular magnets is obtained by taking into account the dipolar interaction of enviromental spins. Oscillation of the resonant tunnel splitting with a…

We study the macroscopic quantum tunneling of magnetization of the F=1 spinor condensate interacting through dipole-dipole interaction with an external magnetic field applied along the longitudinal or transverse direction. We show that the…

Effect of electric field on spin splitting in SiGe quantum wells (QWs) has been studied theoretically. Microscopical calculations of valley and spin splittings are performed in the effective $sp^3d^5s^*$ tight-binding model. The splittings…

A multidimensional semiclassical method for calculating tunneling splittings in vibrationally excited states of molecules using Cartesian coordinates is developed. It is an extension of the theory by Mil'nikov and Nakamura [$\textit{ J.…
