How to distinguish between interacting and noninteracting molecules in tunnel junctions
Miguel A. Sierra, David Sánchez, Alvar R. Garrigues +3
Recent experiments demonstrate a temperature control of the electric conduction through a ferrocene-based molecular junction. Here we examine the results in view of determining mea…
Effects of uniaxial pressure on the quantum tunneling of magnetization in a high-symmetry Mn12 single-molecule magnet
James H. Atkinson, Adeline D. Fournet, Lakshmi Bhaskaran +6
The symmetry of single-molecule magnets dictates their spin quantum dynamics, influencing how such systems relax via quantum tunneling of magnetization (QTM). By reducing a system'…
Moderate Positive Spin Hall Angle in Uranium
Simranjeet Singh, Marta Anguera, Enrique del Barco +2
We report measurements of spin pumping and the inverse spin Hall effect in Ni80Fe20/Uranium bilayers designed to study the efficiency of spin-charge interconversion in a super-heav…
Dynamical spin injection at a quasi-one-dimensional ferromagnet-graphene interface
S. Singh, A. Ahmadi, C. T. Cherian +3
We present a study of dynamical spin injection from a three-dimensional ferromagnet into two-dimensional single-layer graphene. Comparative ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) studies of…
Three-Leaf Quantum Interference Clovers in a Trigonal Single-Molecule Magnet
James H. Atkinson, Ross Inglis, Enrique del Barco +1
The control of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) at the microscopic level has become a major research quest within the magnetism and spintronics communities. Altering the interaction betwe…
Magnetic Quantum Tunneling: Insights from Simple Molecule-Based Magnets
Stephen Hill, Saiti Datta, Junjie Liu +7
This article takes a broad view of the understanding of magnetic bistability and magnetic quantum tunneling in single-molecule magnets (SMMs), focusing on three families of relativ…
Comment on "Influence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Exchange Interaction on Quantum Phase Interference of Spins"
E. del Barco, S. Hill, D. N. Hendrickson
In a recent Letter [1], Wernsdorfer et al. report an experimental study of a Mn12 molecular wheel which shows essentially identical behavior to the Mn12 wheel studied by Ramsey et…
Quantum Coherence between High Spin Superposition States of Single Molecule Magnet Ni
E. del Barco, A. D. Kent, E. C. Yang +1
Magnetic quantum tunneling in a single molecule magnet (SMM) has been studied in experiments that combine microwave spectroscopy with high sensitivity magnetic measurements. By mon…
Tunneling Splittings in Mn12-Acetate Single Crystals
E. del Barco, A. D. Kent, E. M. Rumberger +2
A Landau-Zener multi-crossing method has been used to investigate the tunnel splittings in high quality Mn-acetate single crystals in the pure quantum relaxation regime and…
Quadratic transverse anisotropy term due to dislocations in Mn12-Ac directly obtained by EPR spectroscopy
R. Amigo, E. del Barco, Ll. Casas +6
High-Sensitivity Electron Paramagnetic Resonance experiments have been carried out in fresh and stressed Mn12-Acetate single crystals for frequencies ranging from 40 GHz up to 110…
Relaxation and Landau-Zener experiments down to 100 mK in ferritin
M. Duran, E. del Barco, J. M. Hernandez +1
Temperature-independent magnetic viscosity in ferritin has been observed from 2 K down to 100 mK, proving that quantum tunneling plays the main role in these particles at low tempe…
Magnetic qubits as hardware for quantum computers
J. Tejada, E. M. Chudnovsky, E. del Barco +2
We propose two potential realisations for quantum bits based on nanometre scale magnetic particles of large spin S and high anisotropy molecular clusters. In case (1) the bit-value…
