摘要
Magnetization relaxation of [Mn-4(hpdm)(6)(OAc)(2)](ClO4)(2) with S = 8 ground state has been investigated with AC susceptibility and DC magnetization measurements below 4 K. The temperature dependence of the relaxation time follows the Arrhenius law with activation energy E = 17 K above 1 K. At lower temperatures, the relaxation deviates from the thermal activation formula and becomes temperature independent below 0.5 K with tau(sat) similar to 10(4) s. These observations are attributed to magnetic quantum tunneling. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
