摘要
The magnetic susceptibility of high-spin molecules CrNi6 (S=15/2) and CrMn6 (S=27/2) has been measured at high frequency (680 MHz), in a magnetic field (up to 5 T), and at low temperature (down to 18 mK). A large decrease of the imaginary part of the susceptibility with increasing electromagnetic power is observed. This nonlinear effect is attributed to tunneling of the high-spin molecules between the two states \+/-S] of the ground doublet across the anisotropy-energy barrier.
