Calculation of the EPR Spectrum for an Entangled Dimer o f S = 9/2 Mn4 Single-Molecule Magnets

چکیده
Recent electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and magnetic hysteresis experiments have demonstrated quantum entanglement between singlemolecule magnets in a supramolecular [Mn412 dimer. Here we outline details of the computational methods used to calculate the EPR spectrum for the dimer system, with particular emphasis on the symmetries of the entangled eigenstates and the resultant EPR transition matrix elements. PACS numbers: 75.45.+j, 75.60.Ej, 75.50.Xx.

A comparative high frequency EPR study of monomeric and dimeric Mn4 single-molecule magnets
We compare high frequency single crystal electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) data for monomeric and dimeric Mn4 complexes where, in the case of the latter, intra-dimer exchange interactions are known to significantly alter the low temperature quantum behavior. The monomeric system exhibits typical single-molecule S /9/2 EPR spectra; analysis of these data have enabled us to characterize the e...
متن کاملDefects, Tunneling, and EPR Spectra of Single-Molecule Magnets
We examine theoretically electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) lineshapes as functions of resonance frequency, energy level, and temperature for single crystals of three different kinds of single-molecule nanomagnets (SMMs): Mn12 acetate, Fe8Br, and the S = 9/2 Mn4 compound. We use a density-matrix equation and consider distributions in the uniaxial (second-order) anisotropy parameter D and the...
متن کاملEntanglement of Exchange-Coupled Dimers of Single- Molecule Magnets
Recent EPR studies of a family of [Mn4O3Cl4(O2CR)3(py)3]2 (R = CH3, CH2CH3, etc.) dimers of singlemolecule magnets (SMMs) have demonstrated quantum entanglement between the two SMMs within the dimer. This entanglement is caused by an intra-dimer exchange interaction JŜ1·Ŝ2, where J ≈ +0.1 K and S1 = S2 = 9/2. We compare data for two members of the [Mn4O3Cl4(O2CR)3(py)3]2 family, focusing on fac...
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 ...
