摘要
Molecular clusters of paramagnetic metal ions have been widely investigated as model for magnetism at the nanoscale, especially for quantum effects like the tunneling of the magnetic moment. We present here some recent results obtained on derivatives of the well-known Mn12 cluster, especially on the half-integer spin compounds. The role of the transverse anisotropy in the dynamics of the magnetization is here elucidated through the comparison of the tunneling rate of the magnetization in two Fe8 cluster compounds, which differ only in the transverse anisotropy. Local dipolar fields and nuclear hyperfine fields have also revealed to strongly affect the relaxation in the pure tunneling regime and recent experiment has allowed to determine the intrinsic linewidth of the tunneling resonance. The transverse field dependence of the relaxation rate of Fe8 has revealed oscillations that are analog to the topological constructive-destructive interference of the spin phase (Berry phase) and we review here some very recent results. The magnetic behavior of antiferromagnetic ring-shaped clusters is also discussed fur their potential interest as models for antiferromagnetic particles. Some recent results obtained by other chemists in the synthesis of large spin dusters are also reviewed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
