Quantum tunneling of two coupled single-molecular magnets
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 sweeping rate effect on the step height in the hysterisis loops are understood very well in this theory.

متن کاملA Brief Introduction to Single Molecular Magnets
Single Molecular Magnets(SMM), has attracted much interest. Their large spin and quantum behavior at a mesoscopic scale, indicates rich physics behind these unusual phenomena as well as prospective application values. In this article, quantum tunneling magnetization (QTM), the origin of the magnetism in SMM, is discussed. Then it is followed by two typical cases: integer spin SMM and 1/2 spin SMM.
متن کاملTransverse magnetization and transient oscillations in the quantum tunneling of molecular magnets
We calculate the response of a molecular magnet subject to a time-varying magnetic field and coupled to a heat bath. We propose that observations of calculated oscillations transverse to the field direction may be an effective way of demonstrating quantum tunneling and thus probing the details of level repulsion. The effective model of a triangle of Heisenberg spins and weak anisotropies, as ha...
متن کاملQuantum Tunneling of the Magnetization in the Ising Chain Compound Ca3Co2O6
The magnetic behavior of the Ca3Co2O6 spin chain compound is characterized by a large Ising-like character of its ferromagnetic chains, set on triangular lattice, that are antiferromagnetically coupled. At low temperature, T < 7K, the 3D antiferromagnetic state evolves towards a spin frozen state. In this temperature range, magnetic field driven magnetization of single crystals (H//chains) exhi...
متن کاملResonant and Kondo tunneling through molecular magnets
Transport through molecular magnets is studied in the regime of strong coupling to the leads. We consider a resonant-tunneling model where the electron spin in a quantum dot or molecule is coupled to an additional local, anisotropic spin via exchange interaction. The two opposite regimes dominated by resonant tunneling and by Kondo transport, respectively, are considered. In the resonant-tunnel...
