Quantum decoherence phenomena in thermal assisted tunneling
arXiv:cond-mat/9902349
Abstract
We propose a novel approach to the problem of a transition from quantum to classical behavior in mesoscopic spin systems. This paper is intended to demonstrate that main cause of such transitions is quantum decoherence which appear as a result of a thermal interaction between spin system and its environment.
