摘要
We describe unusual magnetic properties of a 12 Mn cluster organic compound that has a S = 10 ground state and a very high anisotropy. Ac susceptibility and magnetization measurements on powder samples show a superparamagnetic like behavior, with relaxation times following tau = tau(0) exp(Delta/T), where tau(0) similar to 10(-7) s. Field cooled and zero field cooled magnetization curves split below 3 K, with onset of hysteresis. Low temperature specific heat measurements show no anomaly down to 1.6 K. The isolated and well-defined dusters form an excellent model system for magnetic relaxation studies and possible quantum tunneling effects at very low temperatures.
