Magnetic Deflagration and Turbulent Fronts of Quantum Detonation in Molecular Magnets1
Spin tunneling in molecular magnets such as Mn-12, boosted by a strong transverse field, should result in quantum effects in magnetic burning or deflagration. As the dipolar field can block or unblock tunneling resonances, a new possibility of propagating fronts of spin flips opens up that coexists with the standard magnetic deflagration. Here this process is being considered within a full thre...
متن کاملSpin Tunneling in Molecular Magnets
We study spin tunneling in magnetic molecules, with special reference to Fe8. The article aims to give a pedagogical discussion of what is meant by the tunneling of a spin, and how tunneling amplitudes or energy level splittings may be calculated using path integral and discrete phase integral methods. In the case of Fe8, an issue of great interest is the oscillatory tunnel splittings as a func...
متن کاملQuantum-tunneling-induced Kondo effect in single molecular magnets.
We consider transport through a single-molecule magnet strongly coupled to metallic electrodes. We demonstrate that, for a half-integer spin of the molecule, electron and spin tunneling cooperate to produce both quantum tunneling of the magnetic moment and a Kondo effect in the linear conductance. The Kondo temperature depends sensitively on the ratio of the transverse and easy-axis anisotropie...
متن کاملQuantum tunneling of two coupled single-molecular magnets
Two single-molecule magnets are coupled antiferromagnetically to form a supramolecule dimer. We study the coupling effect and tunneling process by means of the numerical exact diagonalization method, and apply them to the recently synthesized supramoleculer dimer [Mn4]2. The model parameters are calculated for the dimer based on the tunneling process. The absence of tunneling at zero field and ...
متن کاملResonant Magnetization Tunneling in Molecular Magnets
The frontier between the classical and quantum worlds can be approached in one of two ways: from the top down or the bottom up. The top-down approach entails starting with an essentially classical variable (e.g. the flux in a superconducting loop, the charge on a small superconducting island or the magnetization of a single-domain magnetic particle) and squeezing down the size of the system (th...
