Molecules comprising a large number of coupled paramagnetic centers are attracting much interest because they may show properties which intermediate between those simple paramagnets and classical bulk magnets provide unambiguous evidence quantum size effects in magnets. To date, two cluster families, usually referred to as Mn12 Fe8, have been used test theories. However, it is reasonable predict that other classes molecules will be discovered similar or superior properties. do this necessary...

Slow magnetic relaxation and hysteresis effects of dynamic origin have been observed above liquid helium temperature in a chain compound (see picture), comprising CoII centers organic radicals, without any evidence phase transition to three-dimensional order. These results are the first slow dynamics predicted for one-dimensional systems with Ising anisotropy, they open possibility storing information single nanowire.

Clusters of metal ions are a class compounds actively investigated for their magnetic properties, which should gradually change from those simple paramagnets to bulk magnets. However, interest lies in number different disciplines: chemistry, seeks new synthetic strategies make larger and clusters controlled manner; physics, can test the validity quantum mechanical approaches at nanometer scale; biology, use them as models biomineralization particles.
We have investigated the magnetic relaxation of clusters eight iron ions characterized by a spin ground state ten and an Ising anisotropy. Below 400 mK rate is temperature independent suggesting that tunneling moment across its anisotropy energy barrier occurs. Using constants derived from EPR data, we can calculate both crossover ${T}_{c}$ expected frequency $1/\ensuremath{\tau}$. The field dependence shows evidence resonant tunneling.

Molecular magnetism , which includes the study of organic magnets, spin cross‐over, and large clusters, has recently begun to concentrate on design synthesis new magnetic compounds. Simple molecules, based nitroxides nitronyl (see Figure), have been found order ferromagnetically. The field is reviewed, stressing possibility combining properties. magnified image

Single-chain magnets: A rational approach to decrease magnetic dipolar interactions led the chain compound [Dy(hfac)3{NIT(C6H4OPh)}] (see structure; NIT(R): 2-(4′-R)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide), first rare-earth-radical-based single-chain magnet. The shows slow relaxation behavior, a dynamical crossover resulting from finite-size effects, and very rich static behavior.
Using high-frequency EPR spectroscopy we have found that a cluster comprising eight iron(III) ions, Fe8, which is essentially flat, has ground S = 10 state and an Ising-type anisotropy. For the first time both ac susceptibility Mössbauer could be used in order to monitor relaxation of magnetization, was follow thermally activated behavior, as superparamagnet, with τ0 1.9 × 10−7 s energy barrier 22.2 K.
