The problem of finite size effects in s=1/2 Ising systems showing slow dynamics of the magnetization is investigated introducing diamagnetic impurities in a Co$^{2+}$-radical chain. The static magnetic properties have been measured and analyzed considering the peculiarities induced by the ferrimagnetic character of the compound. The dynamic susceptibility shows that an Arrhenius law is observed with the same energy barrier for the pure and the doped compounds while the prefactor decreases, as theoretically predicted. Multiple spins reversal has also been investigated.

The static and dynamic properties of the single-chain molecular magnet [Co(hfac)$_2$NITPhOMe] are investigated in the framework of the Ising model with Glauber dynamics, in order to take into account both the effect of an applied magnetic field and a
finite size of the chains. For static fields of moderate intensity and short chain lengths, the approximation of a mono-exponential decay of the magnetization fluctuations is found to be valid at low temperatures; for strong fields and long chains, a multi-exponential decay should rather be assumed. The effect of an oscillating magnetic field, with intensity much smaller than that of the static one, is included in the theory in order to obtain the dynamic susceptibility $chi(omega)$. We find that, for an open chain with $N$ spins, $chi(omega)$ can be written as a weighted sum of $N$ frequency contributions, with a sum rule relating the frequency weights to the static susceptibility of the chain. Very good agreement is found between the theoretical dynamic susceptibility and the ac susceptibility measured in moderate static fields ($H_{rm dc}le 2$ kOe), where the approximation of a single dominating frequency turns out to be valid. For static fields in this range, new data for the relaxation time, $tau$ versus $H_{rm dc}$, of the magnetization of CoPhOMe at low temperature are also well reproduced by theory, provided that finite-size effects are included.
This paper presents an experimental and theoretical study of the distribution of carbon atoms in the octahedral interstitial sites of the face-centered cubic (fcc) phase of the iron-carbon system. The experimental part of the work consists of Mossbau
er measurements in Fe-C alloys with up to about 12 atomic percent C, which are interpreted in terms of two alternative models for the distribution of C atoms in the interstitial sites. The theoretical part combines an analysis of the chemical potential of C based on the quasichemical approximation to the statistical mechanics of interstitial solutions, with three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations. The latter were performed by assuming a gas like mixture of C atoms and vacancies (Va) in the octahedral interstitial sites. The number of C-C, C-Va and Va-Va pairs calculated using Monte Carlo simulations are compared with those given by the quasichemical model. Furthermore, the relative fraction of the various Fe environments were calculated and compared with those extracted from the Mossbauer spectra. The simulations reproduce remarkably well the relative fractions obtained assuming the Fe(8)C(1-y) model for Mossbauer spectra, which includes some blocking of the nearest neighbour interstitial sites by a C atom. With the new experimental and theoretical information obtained in the present study, a critical discussion is reported of the extent to which such blocking effect is accounted for in current thermodynamic models of the Fe-C fcc phase.

It is shown that dipolar and weak superexchange interactions between the spin systems of single-molecule magnets (SMM) play an important role in the relaxation of magnetization. These interactions can reduce or increase resonant tunneling. The one-bo
dy tunnel picture of SMMs is not always sufficient to explain the measured tunnel transitions. We propose to improve the picture by including also two-body tunnel transitions such as spin-spin cross-relaxation (SSCR). A Mn4 SMM is used as a model system to study the SSCR which plays also an important role for other SMMs like Mn12 or Fe8. At certain external fields, SSCRs can lead to quantum resonances which can show up in hysteresis loop measurements as well defined steps. A simple model allows us to explain quantitatively all observed transitions. Including three-body transitions or dealing with the many-body problem is beyond the slope of this paper.
The thermodynamic and magnetic properties of MnCl3(C12H8N2), have been studied down to 2 K. The material is an S = 2 antiferromagnetic linear chain that undergoes long-range ordering to a canted antiferromagnetic state at 23 K. The comparison of magn
etic data from polycrystalline samples with the results of specific heat measurements using a pressed pellet of powder reveals the importance of the length of the chains in the sample in relation to the magnetic correlation length.
Single-chain magnets are molecular spin chains displaying slow relaxation of the magnetisation on a macroscopic time scale. To this similarity with single-molecule magnets they own their name. In this chapter the distinctive features of single-chain
magnets as opposed to their precursors will be pinpointed. In particular, we will show how their behaviour is dictated by the physics of thermally-excited domain walls. The basic concepts needed to understand and model single-chain magnets will also be reviewed.
