We present a comprehensive derivation of the magnetization relaxation in a Mn12-acetate crystal based on thermally assisted spin tunneling induced by quartic anisotropy and weak transverse magnetic fields. The overall relaxation rate as…
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,…
Comprehensive theory of quantum spin relaxation in Mn-12 acetate crystals is developed, that takes into account imperfections of the crystal structure and is based upon the generalization of the Landau-Zener effect for incoherent tunneling…
Longitudinal or transverse magnetic fields applied on a crystal of Mn12-ac allows to observe independent tunnel transitions between m=-S+p and m=S-n-p (n=6-10, p=0-2 in longitudinal field and n=p=0 in transverse field). We observe a smooth…
Current theories still fail to give a satisfactory explanation of the observed quantum phenomena in the relaxation of the magnetisation of the molecular cluster Mn12 acetate. In the very low temperature regime, Prokof'ev and Stamp recently…
We report point by point measurements below the blocking temperature of the magnetic relaxation of Mn$_{12}$-acetate as a function of magnetic field applied along the easy axis of magnetization. Unexpectedly complex structure is observed…
We present the results of a detailed study of the thermally-assisted-resonant-tunneling relaxation rate of Mn12 acetate as a function of an external, longitudinal magnetic field and find that the data can be fit extremely well to a…
We show that dislocations should be the main source of spin tunneling in Mn-12 crystals. Long-range strains caused by dislocations produce broad distribution of relaxation times that has been seen in many experiments. When the external…
We report measurements and theoretical analysis of resonant spin tunneling in randomly oriented nanospheres of a molecular magnet. Amorphous nanospheres of Mn$_{12}$ acetate have been fabricated and characterized by chemical, infrared, TEM,…
We investigate the topological quenching of spin tunneling in Mn_12-acetate molecules with an applied magnetic field along the hard axis. The model Hamiltonian describing this system has a fourth-order term due to the tetragonal anisotropy.…
In magnetic fields applied parallel to the anisotropy axis, the relaxation of the magnetization of Mn$_{12}$ measured for different sweep rates is shown to collapse onto a single scaled curve. The form of the scaling implies that the…
The Mn cluster complexes Mn12(RCOO)16(H2O)4O12 with R=CH3 and 2ClPh (hereafter referred to as Mn12 acetate and Mn12 2-Cl benzoate, respectively) exhibit macroscopic magnetic quantum tunneling. Dynamical magnetic measurements indicate for…
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 spin relaxation in the molecular magnet \Mn12 is investigated by a novel type of high-frequency magnetic spectroscopy. By reversing the external magnetic field the intensities of the $|\pm 10>\to |\pm 9>$ transitions within the ground…
We report Hall sensor measurements of the magnetic relaxation of Mn$_{12}$-acetate as a function of magnetic field applied along the easy axis of magnetization for a series of closely-spaced temperatures between 0.24 K and 1.9 K. We map out…
A Landau-Zener multi-crossing method has been used to investigate the tunnel splittings in high quality Mn$_{12}$-acetate single crystals in the pure quantum relaxation regime and for fields applied parallel to the magnetic easy axis. With…
Recently, Bellessa et al in a Physical Review Letter entitled "Phonon-Assisted Tunneling in High-Spin Molecules: Experimental Evidence", reported observation of a peak in the imaginary part of the ac-susceptibility of Mn-12 molecular…

We present experimental results on resonant spin tunnelling in a single crystal of Mn$_{12}$-2Cl benzoate with different concentration of dislocations. The time evolution of the magnetisation follows the stretched exponential over a few…
