Direct observation of quantum coherence in single-molecule magnets.
Direct evidence of quantum coherence in a single-molecule magnet in a frozen solution is reported with coherence times as long as T{2}=630+/-30 ns. We can strongly increase the coherence time by modifying the matrix in which the single-molecule magnets are embedded. The electron spins are coupled to the proton nuclear spins of both the molecule itself and, interestingly, also to those of the so...
متن کاملQuantum coherence in an exchange-coupled dimer of single-molecule magnets.
A multi- high-frequency electron paramagnetic resonance method is used to probe the magnetic excitations of a dimer of single-molecule magnets. The measured spectra display well-resolved quantum transitions involving coherent superposition states of both molecules. The behavior may be understood in terms of an isotropic superexchange coupling between pairs of single-molecule magnets, in analogy...
متن کاملInitial observation of magnetization hysteresis and quantum tunneling in mixed manganese-lanthanide single-molecule magnets.
The preparation of a new family of mixed transition metal/lanthanide clusters is reported. The reaction of [Mn3O(O2CPh)6(py)2(H2O)] with Ln(NO3)3 (Ln = Nd, Gd, Dy, Ho, and Eu) in a 1:2 molar ratio in MeOH/MeCN (1:20 v/v) leads to dark crystals in 55-60% isolated yield of complexes all containing the [Mn11Ln4]45+ core. The Dy compound has been found to give out-of-phase AC susceptibility signals...
متن کاملSingle-Molecule Magnets
Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) continue to be an attractive research field because of their unique and intriguing properties and potential applications in high-density data storage technologies and molecular spintronics. The anisotropic barrier (U) of an SMM is derived from a combination of an appreciable spin ground state (S) and uniaxial Ising-like magneto-anisotropy (D). The magnet-like beha...
متن کاملQuantum dynamics of exchange biased Single Molecule Magnets
We present a new family of exchange biased Single Molecule Magnets in which antiferromagnetic coupling between the two components results in quantum behaviour different from that of the individual SMMs. Our experimental observations and theoretical analysis suggest a means of tuning the quantum tunnelling of magnetization in SMMs.
