Inelastic Neutron Scattering Study of Mn12-Acetate
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report zero-field inelastic neutron scattering experiments on a deuterated powder sample of Mn12-Acetate consisting of a large number of nominally identical spin-10 magnetic clusters. Our resolution enables us to see a series of peaks corresponding to transitions between the anisotropy levels within the spin-10 manifold. A fit to the spin Hamiltonian H = −DS z − μBB · g · S −

Exchange constants and spin dynamics in Mn12-acetate
We have obtained new inelastic neutron scattering (INS) data for the molecular magnet Mn12-acetate which exhibit at least six magnetic peaks in the energy range 5–35meV. These are compared with a microscopic Heisenberg model for the 12 quantum spins localised on the Mn ions, coupled by four inequivalent magnetic exchange constants. A fit to the magnetic susceptibility under the constraint that ...
متن کاملTransverse field Ising ferromagnetism in Mn12-acetate-MeOH
We report measurements of the magnetic susceptibility of single crystals of Mn12-acetate-MeOH, a newlysynthesized high-symmetry variant of the original single molecule magnet Mn12-acetate. A comparison of these data to theory and to data for the Mn12-acetate material shows that Mn12-acetate-MeOH is a realization of a transverse-field Ising ferromagnet in contrast to the original Mn12-acetate ma...

Pressure dependence of the spin dynamics around a quantum critical point : An inelastic neutron scattering study of Ce 0.87 La 0.13 Ru 2 Si 2. Abstract. Inelastic neutron scattering experiments performed on a single crystal of the antiferromagnetic compound Ce 0.87 La 0.13 Ru 2 Si 2 under applied pressures of up to 5 kbar are reported. A quantum critical point is reached at around 2.6 kbar wher...
متن کاملCollective dynamics in phospholipid bilayers investigated by inelastic neutron scattering: Exploring the dynamics of biological membranes with neutrons
We present the first inelastic neutron scattering study of the short wavelength dynamics in a phospholipid bilayer. We show that inelastic neutron scattering using a triple-axis spectrometer at the high flux reactor of the ILL yields the necessary resolution and signal to determine the dynamics of model membranes. The results can quantitatively be compared to recent Molecular Dynamics simulatio...

Using polarized inelastic neutron scattering the antisymmetric part of the dynamical susceptibility in non-centrosymmetric MnSi is determined. The paramagnetic fluctuations are found to be incommensurate with the chemical lattice and to have a chiral character. We show that antisymmetric interactions must be taken into account to properly describe the critical dynamics in MnSi above the Curie t...
