We model magnetization processes that take place through tunneling in crystals of single-molecule magnets, such as Mn_12 and Fe_8. These processes take place when a field H is applied after quenching to very low temperatures. Magnetic dipolar interactions and spin flipping rules are essential ingredients of the model. The results obtained follow from Monte Carlo simulations and from the stochastic model we propose for dipole field diffusion. Correlations established before quenching are shown to later drive the magnetization process. We also show that in simple cubic lattices, m propto sqrt(t) at time t after H is applied, as observed in Fe_8, but only for 1+2log_10(h_d/h_w) time decades, where h_d is some near-neighbor magnetic dipolar field and a spin reversal can occur only if the magnetic field acting on it is within some field window (-h_w,h_w). However, the sqrt(t) behavior is not universal. For BCC and FCC lattices, m propto t^p, but p simeq 0.7 . An expression for p in terms of lattice parameters is derived. At later times the magnetization levels off to a constant value. All these processes take place at approximately constant magnetic energy if the annealing energy epsilon_a is larger than the tunneling windows energy width (i.e., if epsilon_a gtrsim gmu_B h_w S). Thermal processes come in only later on to drive further magnetization growth.

Comment on the paper: Magnetization Process of Single Molecule Magnets at Low Temperatures of J.F.Fernandez and J.J.Alonso (PRL 91, 047202 (2003)).
This is the reply to a Comment by I.S.Tupitsyn and P.C.E. Stamp (PRL v92,119701 (2004)) on a letter of ours (J.F.Fernandez and J.J.Alonso, PRL v91, 047202 (2003)).
We study the relaxation of interacting single--molecule magnets (SMMs) in both spatially ordered and disordered systems. The tunneling window is assumed to be, as in Fe8, much narrower than the dipolar field spread. We show that relaxation in disorde
red systems differs qualitatively from relaxation in fully occupied cubic and Fe_8 lattices. We also study how line shapes that develop in hole--digging experiments evolve with time t in these fully occupied lattices. We show (1) that the dipolar field h scales as t^p in these hole line shapes and show (2) how p varies with lattice structure. Line shapes are not, in general, Lorentzian. More specifically, in the lower portion of the hole, they behave as (h/t^p)^{(1/p)-1} if h is outside the tunnel window. This is in agreement with experiment and with our own Monte Carlo results.
Configuration transitions of individual molecules and atoms on surfaces are traditionally described with energy barriers and attempt rates using an Arrhenius law. This approach yields consistent energy barrier values, but also attempt rates orders of
magnitude below expected oscillation frequencies of particles in the meta-stable state. Moreover, even for identical systems, the measurements can yield values differing from each other by orders of magnitude. Using low temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) to measure an individual dibutyl-sulfide molecule (DBS) on Au(111), we show that we can avoid these apparent inconsistencies if we account for the relative position of tip apex and molecule with accuracy of a fraction of the molecule size. Altering the tip position on that scale modifies the transitions barrier and attempt rate in a highly correlated fashion, which on account of the relation between the latter and entropy results in a single-molecular enthalpy-entropy compensation. By appropriately positioning the tip apex the STM tip can be used to select the operating point on the compensation line and modify the transition rates. The results highlight the need to consider entropy in transition rates of a single molecule, even at temperatures where entropy effects are usually neglected.
