Evidence for a very low-lying S = 9 excited state of the S = 10 single molecule magnet Mn12-acetate

R. S. Edwards, S. Hill, S. Maccagnano +2

We present a detailed investigation of the temperature and frequency dependence of the anomalous EPR transitions first observed in Mn12-acetate by Hill et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80,…
