A Mn30 molecular cluster is established to be the largest single-molecule magnet (SMM) discovered to date. Magnetization versus field measurements show coercive fields of about 0.5 T at low temperatures. Magnetization decay experiments reveal an Arrhenius behavior and temperature-independent relaxation below 0.2 K diagnostic of quantum tunneling of magnetization through the anisotropy barrier.The quantum hole digging method is used to establish resonant quantum tunneling. These results demonstrate that large molecular nanomagnets,having a volume of 15 nm^3, with dimensions approaching the mesoscale can still exhibit the quantum physics of the microscale.
We present a complete theory of the spin torque phenomena in a ultrasmall nanomagnet coupled to non-collinear ferromagnetic electrodes through tunnelling junctions. This model system can be described by a simple microscopic model which captures many
We present magnetization measurements on the single molecule magnet Mn6, revealing various tunnel transitions inconsistent with a giant-spin description. We propose a dimeric model of the molecule with two coupled spins S=6, which involves crystal-fi
Time-dependent specific heat experiments on the molecular nanomagnet Fe8 and the isotopic enriched analogue 57Fe8 are presented. The inclusion of the 57Fe nuclear spins leads to a huge enhancement of the specific heat below 1 K, ascribed to a strong
The nature of magnetization reversal in an isolated cylindrical nanomagnet has been studied employing time-resolved magnetoresistance measurement. We find that the reversal mode is highly stochastic, occurring either by multimode or single-step switc
Below 360 mK, Fe magnetic molecular clusters are in the pure quantum relaxation regime and we show that the predicted square-root time relaxation is obeyed, allowing us to develop a new method for watching the evolution of the distribution of molecul
