  1. 2002 London NIRT: Fe8 EPR linewidth data • MS dependence of Gaussian widths is due to D-strain • Energies  MS2, therefore energy differences  MS • sD= 0.6% • D-strain  disorder; multiple environments 89 GHz 117 GHz • Temperature dependence of Gaussian widths is due to intermolecular spin-spin interactions (dipolar and exchange) • S. Hill, S. Maccagnano, K. Park, R. M. Achey, J. M. North and N. S. Dalal, Phys. Rev. B 65, 224410 (2002).

  2. High-frequency EPR data • Magnetic dipole transitions (Dms = ±1) - note frequency scale! S = 10 field//z z, S4-axis Bz

  4. Attempts to model this behavior (spin-spin interactions)

  5. Fe8Br - easy axis line position data • Temperature dependent shifts are due to competing short range ferromagnetic exchange (J = -7 gauss) interactions and longer range antiferromagnetic dipolar coupling (20 gauss) • Quantitative agreement with simulations taking both interactions into account • First evidence for exchange in this widely studied SMM • Kyungwha Park, M.A. Novotny, N.S. Dalal, S. Hill, P.A. Rikvold, Phys. Rev. B 65, 14426 (2002). • Kyungwha Park, M.A. Novotny, N.S. Dalal, S. Hill, P.A. Rikvold, Phys. Rev. B (In press, October 2002); cond-mat/0204481.

  8. All Js are antiferromagnetic • Intra-dimer J = 4.45 meV (36 cm-1) • J' = 0.51 meV (4 cm-1) • Jf < J' is frustrating interaction c b a • To lowest order, treat as independent spin-½ dimers • [Cu2+]2 Hamiltonian has perfect cylindrical [U(1)] symmetry Body-centered tetragonal magnetic lattice  J' [Cu2+]2 dimer J J' Each Cu2+ provides a spin-½ Jf • Intra-dimer separation: 2.74 Å • NN inter-dimer distance: 7 Å • NNN inter-dimer distance: ~10 Å

Antiferromagnetic exchange in a dimer of Mn4 SMMs EPR     To zeroth order, the exchange generates a bias field BJ = Jm'/gmB which each spin experiences due to the other spin within the dimer • Bias should shift the single spin (monomer) EPR transitions.

  20. Ni4 SMMs Although most aspects of earlier EPR line width studies on Mn12Ac and Fe8 have been understood in terms of competing exchange and dipolar interactions,20–22 an explanation for the behavior of the ground-state resonance (mS ) -4 to -3 in the present study) has remained elusive for kBT < Δ0. We speculate that this behavior is related to the development of short-range intermolecular magnetic correlations/coherences (either ferro- or antiferromagnetic) which are exchange averaged at higher temperatures.
